Edith was born in Nanaimo, B.C. and was raised in Medicine Hat. She met Marvin in 1961, fell in love and they were married in 1962. Edie and Marv recently celebrated their 61st Wedding Anniversary. Edith loved hosting and cooking meals for her family and friends at her home. She was extremely giving and needed no recognition for her efforts. Family meant everything to her…from playing bingo with her mom, having coffee with her sisters and mom, playing cards with her children and grandchildren, and sewing hooded baby towels for her grandchildren, great grandchildren, great nieces and nephews and for every baby gift she gave. Edith was spirited, strong- willed, loved to travel with Marv and loved antique shopping. She was the glue holding her family together and close to her heart. Edith’s family would like to give a special thank you to all of her caregivers that have taken wonderful care of her over the last few years. A Private (family-only) Graveside Service will be held at Hillside Cemetery.

After an honorable discharge from the air force he and his wife then moved to New Brunswick and completed his Masters of Science in 1963 and then his PhD from Purdue University, Indiana in 1970.
