She was predeceased by her husband Adelard in 1972; five children,  Darren, Gregory, Deborah, Lisa and Darryl; and by three grandchildren, Tanner, Alisah and Gerald.

Edith was always laughing and smiling. She never forgot a birthday or a special occasion and always had goodies or pastries. She enjoyed sewing and knitting, and always up for an adventure or a good road trip. Especially if it was to BINGO. She had bingo buddies from all over and always shared laughs with the girls Rosie, Lilllian, Hazel and Joyce. Edith worked throughout her entire life as the Community Health Representative for Swan Lake First Nation, for 27 years and with DOCFS for 32 years.
