Missing her are her children; David (Lois) Thompson, Janet (Ken) Cretelli, Gerald (Robin) Thompson, Donald Thompson, Lucinda (Lorne) Hepting, Elizabeth Naylor, her grandchildren; Kim (Carol) Thompson, Cliff (Tena) Thompson, Ross (Adrian) Thompson, Dave (Christine) Cretelli, Nicole (Scott) Reilly, Dan (Alice) Cretelli, Leanne (Peter) Sowden, Christy (Devin) Scott-Thompson, Melissa (Graeme) Carleton, Jessica (Jay) Hepting, Lucas Hepting, her great-grandchildren; Grant, Brayden, Gunner, Heather, Fiona, Sieben, Cleo, Kai, Michelle and Ty, and her brother John R.

Edna was the glue that held us all together. She was the life of the party, our greatest inspiration, strong and beautiful every day, a world traveller, nurturer, craftswoman and mother to us all. She lived her full adventurous life on her terms – she did it her way. A special thank you to all the staff at Eagle Park for the wonderful care they gave mom.
