Edith and I became friends in high school, and though we lived in different states now for so many years, our friendship remained close and precious. I will so miss her.

Like Rachel, I worked with Edith while she was here at Rogers Townsend. She was incredibly gracious to me and I always felt like she really cared about my success and my happiness. I just learned of her death and cannot make it to the service today, but I am with you all as you celebrate her extraordinary life. Peace be with you.

We are so sorry to learn of your dear mother's passing. Our time as next-door neighbors on Clemons Road in East Ridge hold so many precious memories. I bet at this very moment Dot, Jim, Big Guy, and Edith are harmonizing to "When they ring those Golden Bells" . Prayers for your precious family for comfort, strength and peace. Love to all of you.

Edith was a dear friend
We worked together at Rogers Townsend
And after her retirement we would meet about once a month having our lunches
We would talk non stop . Edith was a mentor to me. I looked to her for how to live an exciting life
Then Covid hit
We stayed in contact via phone
She was a wonderful teacher by action, word and deed. She taught me so much
I will hold her in memory as a wonderful sweet dear friend

Edith was one of my dearest friends for over 30 years. We worked together and enjoyed each others company outside of work too. I will miss her intelligence, wit and humor. So hard to believe she is gone. I will miss our long conversation as I traveled to and from courthouses in South Carolina..and I regret not getting to travel to McCormick with her this spring. My sincere condolences to her entire family. She was truly a great lady and I will miss her dearly. Mary Ellen Harley McCain
