Edna was born September 23, 1927 in Winnipeg to Bill and Pearl (Wallace) Woodward. She attended Daniel McIntyre Collegiate and then worked for the Federal Income Tax Department. Edna was a lifelong member of Broadway-First Baptist Church and that was where she met Bruce Cameron. They were members of the Baptist Young People's Union and attended many social functions, including dances at Grand Beach in the years after the Second World War.
Bruce and Edna were married June 10, 1950 at Broadway, just two months after the devastating flood in southern Manitoba. They built a house in the new area of River Heights in 1951. Bruce and Edna lived there until 1965 when they moved to Oak Street in North River Heights where they resided until Bruce was admitted to long-term care in 2014.
Edna engaged in a number of activities throughout her life. She sang soprano in the church choir for many decades, volunteered with Meals on Wheels, Agape Table and a Community Clothesline through Broadway. In later years, Bruce and Edna were members of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Winnipeg.
