WHITE: Edna was born on June 30, 1923, the second child to Garnet and Gladys Woolley. Edna was raised on a farm just outside of Meacham, SK. She had a wonderful childhood filled with music, laughter, love, and dancing. She was always full of life and fun. So, people were very surprised when she married an Anglican minister. Edna met Clarence White at the small Anglican Church in Meacham where he was the visiting minister. They married in 1947. Together they had 5 children: Garnet, Tim, Terry, Patti, and Rob. They had a wonderful life together; travelling the world after Clarence joined the RCAF in 1952. They lived all across Canada at well as in Germany. Edna was known for her genuineness, kindness, resilience, love of life, and her strong faith. She loved and was loved. Edna was predeceased by her husband, Clarence and son Garnet and sister Joyce. Edna is survived by her son, Tim (Shirley), daughter Terry (Percy), daughter Patti, and son Rob (Sharyn); grandchildren: Ayla, Anna, Hannah, Frances, Sienna, Ryan, and Emily; her sister, Doris Woolley and good friend Flo Dugard; special nephew, Grant White; sister-in-law Doris White; sister-in-law Doreen (Phil) Walker; and numerous cousins, nephews and nieces and many friends (especially bridge players). Edna will be missed by all who knew her, especially by Bob McWhirter, with whom she lived for the past year and a half, and had known for 6 years. They had a wonderful, loving relationship and both families loved them very much. Many thanks to the McWhirter/Angel families for their kindness and acceptance. Edna requested a private Graveside Service in Saskatoon which will be held at a later date. Special thanks to the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at Battlefords Union Hospital. _____________________________________________________
