EDITH was a great lady. I worked at the Myers Clinic when she did. She will be missed. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends.
I thought the world of Edith when she worked with my mother at the clinic! Way back in the day, when Edith worked the switchboard, she would let my sisters and I plug in the lines after showing us where they should go. I felt so grown-up!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time. We know even when a loved one has lived a long and beautiful life, the journey of letting them move to eternal rest and peace leaves a time of sadness and a place of emptiness in the family still left behind. It is our prayer that the Father's hand of peace, mercy and comfort reach down and touch each of you now.

So sorry for your loss. I remember Edith when she worked at the Barbour Department Store with my parents Arthur and Amelia James. God Bless and may she rest in peace.
