At 7:30 p.m., Edith passed into the presence of her Lord. She will be lovingly remembered by her four sons; Ray (Elaine), Garry (Lorraine), Brian (Linda), and Glen (Valerie). She had ten grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. She is survived by her sister Shirley Lambkin. Edith was predeceased by her first husband, Benno Friesen, her second husband, Murray Williams, brother Louis Wight and her parents, Harry and Gladys Wight. Edith was a long-time member of the First Evangelical Free Church in Calgary, and always involved in leadership with the Ladies' Missionary Group.
