Edna Rickert

She was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in the Brownsville/ East New York neighborhoods. With her family, she then moved to Richmond Hill, Queens then to Staten Island.

She attended Prospect Heights High School and then Baruch College. She was a data entry clerk for most of her career at American President Lines, Lockheed Martin/EZPass, and other jobs within New York City. She also wasn’t opposed to taking a second job to help make ends meet. Edna did what was was needed to make sure her family was taken care of.

As far as hobbies, Edna was an avid New York Mets fan, loved reading, and watching crime procedurals on television. NCIS, CSI, and “LMNOP”’; she’d watch it all. When she wasn’t working you’d find her at the kitchen table going through her many many magazines while enjoying coffee with one of the family dogs at her side.

Edna was preceded in death by her father, Jose Precups; her mother Rosa Precups; and sister Rose Brown. She is survived by her husband Kevin Michael, her sons Kevin George and Kristopher, and her daughter Kellie. Edna was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and of course friend to those who knew her. Edna will be greatly missed.

The family will be having private memorials that are yet to be announced.
