Her sister Carolyn (Bobby) Race and many other family members and friends remember her fondly.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and siblings Lawrence, James, Harold, Della, Sadie, and Charles.

A faithful member of Covington Eastside Church of the Nazarene, Edie served on the board, taught Sunday School, and was affectionately known as the Ever Ready Bunny for her tireless energy. Her love for Christ and her community was evident in all she did. Known for her impeccable housekeeping and delicious cooking, especially her famous 7-layer salad, broccoli casserole and veggie pizza, she brought warmth and joy to all who knew her.
