She married her husband, Howard, in June 1961 then moved to Northeast Philadelphia where they raised their two children. Edna's favorite hobby was sewing and made so many wonderful things over the years from clothes for her family, Halloween costumes and most recently many memory teddy bears. Edna was the family's unofficial historian. She had so many stories and memories she loved to share with everyone.
