Edna Mae Hemphill, 98, of Lewiston, passed away Monday, April 17, 2017.
Edna was born Oct. 24, 1918, in Clarkston. Her parents were Charles Otto Carlson and Nettie Elga Baker Britton, who were married on March 19, 1911, in Deary, Latah, Idaho. Edna's siblings were Cecil Leon Carlson, Violet Frances Carlson, and Wendell Eugene Carlson.
She was married to Earnie F. Hemphill on May 17, 1935. They were married for almost 60 years, until his passing on May 5, 1995.
Edna worked for a time at the old Speer Bullet Factory on Delsol Lane. She then became a housewife for many years, and then in the early 1960s, she went to work as a waitress at Curley's on Main Street through the '70s.
Edna loved camping, hunting, and fishing, but her favorite activity was bowling. She and Earnie bowled on the Friday night mixed-doubles league at Imperial Bowl for many years. They both went on to bowl in various senior leagues in the valley. She was bowling three times a week when, at age 86, she was struck by a car while crossing the street. This ended her real bowling career, but then she discovered Wii bowling and she also got interested in shooting darts. With a little help, she shot darts from her wheelchair at The Zoo and The Sports Edition.
She was preceded in death by her spouse, Earnie Hemphill, and her son, Delbert Lee Hemphill.
