Her other hobbies included sewing, playing cards and bingo. Edna is survived by her son, Joseph (Molly) of Morrison, grandson Jack (Annie) and great-granddaughter Josephine of Chandler AZ, grandson Dan (Amy) and great grandchildren Emily and Brody of Clinton, and a sister Lois Wyatt Knutson of Clinton. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and sister, Irene Lehmkuhl. Memorials may be made to Price of Peace Parish or the Alverno. Edna's family asks close friends and family to plant a tree or flowers in her memory this spring.
