Edith was a member of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in Deer Lodge. A woman of faith and the heart of her family, Edith shaped their spirituality by her tireless Christian example. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many who were changed by her witness of constant
Faith. She had a true servant's heart and faithfully cared for family and friends through her cooking, gardening, sewing, crocheting, a column in the weekly newspaper and most of all by lifting us up in prayer. Her memory will be carried on in the legacy of her love for each of us - the lives she formed and touched by her love.

The family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support. Very special Thank You to Quality Home Health Nurses, Angie, Crystal, Roger and Robin. Hospice Nurses, Jackie, Rhonda, Brenda, Sue, Shannon, and Bobby who took such wonderful care of our Mother/Grancmother.
Our Angel that lived, laughed and loved
