Edna was also predeceased by her parents, Edwin and Annabel Porter; her son, Rick; her son-in-law, Ron Gerbrandt; sisters Beulah Keeping and husband Clyde; Rose Murphy and her husband Melvin; brothers-in-law Cecil Porter and John Kerns, as well as two nieces and two nephews.

Also Sisters Alma Porter, Georgina (Keltie) Osmond, and Annie Kerns and many nieces and nephews.
Edna was a strong, caring, thoughtful, and giving lady. She supported many charities and volunteered her time to many organizations. She enjoyed cooking for family and friends and playing crib and other card games with friends. Her love, quick wit and humour will be missed.
