She married the love of her life, Myles S. Adams, on Feb. 13, 1943. Not too long after the wedding, Myles went off to war and Edna became one of many "Rosie the Riveters" putting wings on B-24 airplanes. Once WWII was over, she went to work with Western Union. Edna was a trainer and worked her way up the East Coast to New York.
Once Myles made it home from WWII, they settled in Birmingham, Alabama. She had two children, Sherry and Wayne. Later they moved to El Paso, Texas, and then in 1973 moved to Grantsville, Utah. Once in Grantsville, she spent a lot of time with her grandchildren and became a rock hound with her husband. She enjoyed sewing and gardening.
Edna spent her life as a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She is survived by her sister, Betty Byers; her children, Sherry (Richard) Hutsell and Wayne Adams; grandchildren, Tammy (Brad) Smith, Alan (Amy) Adams, and Jennifer (Roy) Matthews. There are five great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her grandson, Christopher Hutsell; husband, Myles Adams; and daughter-in-law, Linda Adams.
We would like to thank special friends, Kent and Billy Chavez and Canyon Hospice for the amazing care over the last few months.
Services will be held Saturday, May 11, 2019. We will have a friends and family viewing at 1 p.m. at Didericksen Memorial, 87 W. Main St., Grantsville. There will be a small graveside service at 2 p.m. at the Grantsville City Cemetery.
