"Grandma Great" was blessed with 20 great-grandchildren (and two on the way) who brought pure joy to her days. She loved visits with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, especially while sitting in her sunroom. Edna was preceded in death by a son, Richard "Rick" J.

Edna was a homemaker. She was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church, Kalida and Kalida Catholic Ladies of Columbia. Mom fondly remembers her days waitressing at the Black Angus.  She was an excellent cook who always had room at the table for "one more".  Her first thoughts were often of others.  Many nights were spent in her sunroom watching the sun set and praying the rosary. The family would like to thank everyone who sent a card or stopped by to celebrate Mom's 90th birthday. Mom cherished and appreciated everyone who visited. Funeral Mass will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at St. Michael Catholic Church, Kalida with Fr. Mark Hoying officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, 2 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and 9 to 10 a.m. on Wednesday at LOVE-HEITMEYER FUNERAL HOME, Jackson Township.
