Shortly after graduating from Carbon High School, Edna moved to California. While working in San Francisco during World War II, she was reunited with W. Ralph Thompson, from Hiawatha, Utah, whom she had known in high school. Ralph was a handsome sailor, serving in the United States Navy. They were married on August 21, 1943 in Redwood City, California. The marriage was later solemnized in the Los Angeles, California LDS Temple.

Edna's greatest joy was her family. She wanted nothing more than to spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved her family more than a whole bag of Snickers. Second only to her family, Edna loved watching sports. She was a loyal fan of BYU and the San Francisco 49ers. She enjoyed the games the most if it was accompanied with a bowl of ice cream or peanut butter Cap'n Crunch!
