Penny's, Belk and Dillards. She liked to be the boss of all things. If something broke in her house then she would call all her neighbors until she got it fixed. Edna enjoyed days spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved the holidays because she got to see everyone! She hated to see everyone leave and she hated curse words. Spending days with Dot while she rolled her hair also brought her joy. Edna never met a stranger and would help anyone she ever came in contact with.
