Edna worked as a waitress and cook her entire adult life and loved to fish. She also loved anything to do with gardening and working in her yard. She loved to be outside doing something with her flowers every day that she could. Even when she could do longer move around, she enjoyed sitting on the porch and looking at all the flowers. She also enjoyed a good garage sale and rooting on the New Orleans Saints. She had a fun- loving spirit that will be missed by so many.
