from Billings Gazette:
Edna Sanner was born Nov. 16, 1925, to Lucille and Homer, peanut farmers in Oklahoma. They survived the Great Depression. She was the oldest of 11 children, and grew up helping her parents tend to the farm, and help raise her younger siblings. When she was a young woman, Edna left her farm and home in Oklahoma to travel across the country to work on the ship docks in Washington, where she worked as a riveter/welder.
It was there she met Raymond Sanner, and fell in love. Edna and Ray were married Sept. 16, 1945, and made their way to Montana to start a family. Ray had two children from a previous marriage, Jimmie, and Jerry. Ray and Edna had four children together: Maidia, Eddy Ray, Finis, Timothy. They raised their children and were business owners in Custer, Hardin, Roundup, finally settling in Billings. They ran cafés in all of these towns, were active in magazine sales and Con Stan. They lived their life in service to their family, their community, their church. Mrs. Sanner worked for years after retirement at the Billings Senior and Community Center. She did not officially retire from employment until this last summer at age 90.
Mrs. Sanner went home on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016, at 1600, just four days before her 91st birthday.
