  • I will always remember "Aunt Edie" as a warm and gracious lady. She was very kind and supportive to my mother Rossie and I over the years. I remember she had a sparkle in her eyes that I knew to be a quick wit. - Posted by: Gail (Lundy) Jarema (extended family) on: Jun 20, 2015

  • Aunt Edie and Uncle Harold always figured in our young lives as part of the family. Mom & Dad, Connie & Maurice Parker always took us over to visit and we spent many happy hours looking for Aunties cat and marvelling at their lovely home. I'm so thankful I got to have a nice visit with her when I was in Winnipeg visiting family. I still cherish the pretty gifts she would thoughtfully purchase for us children and I know Ardell was so pleased to have her for a god-mama. She will be missed by all us Parker clan. Hugs to you all in your time of loss. - Posted by: Sharel Miller (niece/friend :)) on: Jun 20, 2015
