She did manage to make it to Alaska and Hawaii. Edna moved to Arlington in 1993 to begin a new chapter in her life, making new friends and traveling in the other 48 states. For the past 12 years, due to health problems, Edna’s cousin, Hazel Murray Edwards became not only her caregiver but her companion, best friend and traveling buddy.
