She graduated from Conroe High School in 1948 and continued her education at Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor degree in Home Economics. Edwina returned to Sam Houston for her Master's degree in criminal justice. She used her degree to help 1000's of children as a visiting teacher (social worker) for Conroe ISD. Children were a passion of hers and she felt very strongly about helping children and their families improve their lives. Edwina would always find the good in people.
In 1953, she married Harry E. Saul, Jr. from Conroe, on July 13th. Harry was enlisted in the Air Force as a fighter pilot; this position took the couple from Conroe to Phoenix, AZ, Madison, WI, and Valdosta, GA to name a few. The couple raised two sons, Harry E. Saul, III and Kelley Saul and Edwina was very active in her children's lives. The family moved back to Dallas, Texas in 1958 eventually back to Conroe in 1970.
Edwina was an active member of First Methodist Church in Conroe, the Beacon Sunday School Class, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and was on the Board of Child Protective Services.
She enjoyed being outdoors in its natural beauty, camping, and even river rafting. In her later years, she loved the company of her friends and working out.
She is survived by her loving husband, Harry E. Saul, Jr., son Harry E. Saul, III and wife Tetiana Horiainova, daughter-in-law Sherri Saul, grandchildren, Harrison Saul and wife Kylee, Rachel Warner, Jake Saul, Jessica Saul, Alaksandr Tirok great grandchildren, Samantha Warner and Odin Edward Saul and cousins Ginny Farmer, Janie Kinsey, and Janet Betty. Edwina was preceded in death by her parents, son Kelley Saul, and sisters Virginia Haese and Patsy Bowen.
