She had just celebrated her 93rd birthday the week before with her family.
She will be lovingly remembered by her grandson DJ Seales (Erica), and great grand-children Rebecca, Isabella and Andrei.
Edith will be missed by her brothers Arthur Petersen (Cecile) and Arne Petersen (Valerie).
She was predeceased by her husband Peter Petersen, her daughter Lissie Seales and her brother Carl Petersen.
At her request, no service will be held and the family will have a private gathering.
The family would like to thank the staff at River East Personal Care Home.
Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in Edith's name in lieu of flowers.
