I had the pleasure and joy of working with Edna during the 1970s. We all had electric typewriters, but Edna preferred to type on her original manual typewriter. She even used her original chair. I had the honor of attending her retirement party in 1976, and besides the many other presents given to her, she was jokingly presented with her typewritter and chair, which she gladly took.
Sitting with her at lunch all those years ago, I was amazed when watching her eat an apple. She would eat it core and all, then look at the stem, and pop that into her mouth and eat it too, proclaiming it was "good ruffage!"
Edna had no children of her own, but she had many "daughters" at the insurance company, and during our years working together, I was happy to be one of them!

She was born in the Town of Herman on October 23, 1910, a daughter of the late Jacob J. and Alma (Voss) Spindler.

Edna began working at the former Heritage Mutual Insurance Company in Franklin (now known as Acuity) in 1930, continuing to work at the insurance office after marriage. The office was moved to Sheboygan in 1960, where she worked full time until her retirement in January of 1976.

A Funeral Service was held for Edna on Friday, June 19, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. at Zimmer's Westview Funeral & Cremation Care Center. Reverend Dr. Steve Pedersen, Pastor of Zion Evangelical Covenant Church of Sheboygan, officiated. A memorial fund has been established to Zion Evangelical Covenant Church in Edna's name.
The Bramstedt family would like to thank the caring staff and nurses on the 3rd floor of Sunny Ridge Nursing Home for the loving care Edna received as a resident.
