Edie loved playing pinochle and whist, entertaining for family and friends, and being involved in her kids and grandkids lives. She was as important to them as they were to her.

In 2007, she moved to Sturgis, SD to be close to Judy, and returned to Beach to live at the Manor in 2012. Edie loved the Manor and the staff and called it home.
