Edna loved people, she worked as a Nurse for 41 years. Her love to help people, moved her to dedicate her life and get baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witness on October 19, 2002. She later enjoyed the privilege of the full-time ministry as she served as a regular pioneer, spending many hours in the ministry helping others to know her loving father, Jehovah. She had an unmovable faith in the redeeming value of Jesus’ shed blood and resurrection hope. These and other Bible truths sustained and encouraged her throughout her life.  In her life’s journey, she was very successful in many secular pursuits.
