Edith N. Paal

She was born on May 2, 1933, in Sopron, Hungary, to Ferenc and Jolan Schnapper Nemeth. She married Ernest F. Paal and during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, she had the brave idea to initiate the immigration of her family to the United States for an opportunity for a better life.

She lived life to the fullest and had many interests that kept her very busy. Her passions in life were spending time with family, gardening, singing in the church choir, volunteering at the hospital, competing in ballroom dancing, traveling, swimming, playing bridge and other games, and enjoying get-togethers with her friends in her new community. When she wasn’t out being busy, she kept busy at home with her sewing, needlework, reading, and listening to classical music. She was a fantastic cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.

Edith is survived by her three children, Zoltan and his wife Rhonda, Rita and her husband Paul, and Cynthia and her husband Tim; her grandchildren, Kellen and her husband Alex, Andras, Lance, Brittany, Liam, and Garrett; her sister, Alice and her niece Erica. She leaves us with the memory that we were all loved.
