Richard and Edda shared a marriage of 47 years and had many adventures along the way. Including trips to Alaska, Niagara Falls, Newfoundland, Vegas, and a couple of cruises. Edda sure loved to travel. Edda had many hobbies that included: Beading, Bingo, Singing, playing Solitaire, cribbage, and country music. Edda was always full of joy, laughter, and jokes. She made everyone around her feel welcomed in her embrace and cared for many of her children's friends as her own. She loved being outdoors having cookouts, travelling up the highway, hunting (could shoot better than some of the men she went with). Edda had 25 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren and she absolutely adored them! She loved having them close by when possible but she also loved watching them live out their dreams and goals. She was proud of each and everyone of them. If you knew Edda, you knew what being loved felt like. She left an impression on everyone she met, even if it was a moment in passing. Her stories will live on through her family and dear friends.
