Edna was born in Middletown, Pennsylvania on July 11, 1931, to parents Ethel and Walter Pickel. She later went on to become a graduate of Middletown High School.

Throughout her life, Edna lived in Alvin, Texas, Pearland, Texas, and San Antonio, Texas. She worked as a secretary at an accounting firm, Ernst and Ernst, and later retired from the IRS. Edna was also a faithful member of the Heights Baptist Church in Alvin, Texas.

Some of her favorite activities and hobbies include playing bingo, crafting, crabbing, and she sure did love to dance.

Edna could be described as firm but consistent, playful, hardworking, and she loved her family deeply. She was a firm believer in taking care of those she loved, saving money, and to always “mean what you say”.
