Edith lived a simple life, with a strong Christian faith. She was kind, honest, and fair. Her interest in words included: cryptic crosswords, a challenging game of Scrabble, and discovering new words. She enjoyed visits with her family, being in nature, and reading in English and German. “Auf Wiedersehen”
