EDNA CHRISTINE GRETSINGER
(née MAGNUSSON)
Edna was predeceased by her beloved husband, Lorne; their infant children, Lorne, Edna, John, and Sara; and her parents, Gudlauger and Beatrice Magnusson.
She and Lorne started their married life in Pine Falls, Manitoba and went on to live and work in numerous places around the world before returning to Winnipeg where they bolstered their roles as favourite aunt and uncle. When they became great-aunt and uncle, stories from living abroad became legendary within the family. At the time of Edna's passing, she was a cherished great-great-aunt. She leaves loving memories with those who knew her and will be missed.
As per her wishes, we will celebrate Edna's life (post Covid restrictions) in the manner she would have chosen. We will meet with words not of sadness, but of adventures shared, people missed, and family loved.
In the meantime, Edna's family kindly requests that her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by visiting her tribute page at EthicalDeathCare.com. A photo-biography, as well as memories and stories published by those who knew her, are available there."

Edna and Lorne were much loved.. we would call them to say we would be in Winnipeg or going through, and arrange a short visit! It was always a great visit, however, when we would hear some of their travel adventures!! After Lorne’s passing, we would stop in for a visit with Edna, often taking her for a meal nearby!! Our last view of Edna was of her coming to the door of her building to wave and blow a kiss to us in the driveway, Covid style!! We were saddened when Alexis called us with news of her passing!! She will be missed by us, and so many others!!! Gail Chipman, Calgary - Posted by: Gail Chipman (née Martin) (Cousin) on: Jan 17, 2021
