Her parents, husband of 63 years James and daughter, Christine precede her in death.

She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth and husband, Medicus Rentz; son, Michael and wife, Patty; and daughter, Linda and husband, Henry Gonzales. Edith was a loving wife and mother. Grandmother to Chris Wade Labanowski, Perry Lyons, Caitlyn Colvard, Hayley Colvard and Mac Colvard. She was blessed with great grandchildren Harper, Cole, Lucero, Jack and Liza.

Born in an urban and cultured life style that took a horrible turn into World War. She married Ken an American GI and immigrated to the United States as a war bride. She lived 20 years as a military wife maintaining home and family while Ken served in Korea and Viet Nam. She loved the military tours to Germany where she introduced the family to potato balls, gummi bears, wiener schnitzel and Opa and Oma. She never allowed an uncombed head, wrinkled shirt or dirty dish. She loved her grandchildren and was thrilled by recent great grandchildren looking forward to weekly updates and new pictures.

She will long be missed and never forgotten.
