Edna loved life and embraced all she could. She loved her family and they loved her when they could find her as she traveled as much as she could. Children were special, but she adored babies. If you needed help, she would try to help you. Baseball was her favorite and the Phillies were always her team. She was a coach to a little league team back in the very early sixties, there were no other women coaching little league teams. She wanted to teach the game she loved and wanted the kids to have fun. Winning was only secondary to having fun. For her, however, in her endeavors, she wanted to win! Yes, life was to be enjoyed!
