Griswold, Edna (Edie)

Edna (Edie) Griswold received her angel wings Sunday, February 26, 2012 and flew to Heaven to be with the Lord and her heavenly family. She was predeceased by her parents, Floyd and Pearl Clark, one brother, Robert Clark and two special nephews, Richard (Dicky) Clark and Charles (Chuck) Pellett. She is survived by her husband, Richard; one son and daughter-in-law, Patrick and Linda McManamon; four stepchildren and their spouses, Sherry and Kevin Brown, Dana and Dana Wolfe, Richard and Chris Griswold and Dawn and Jon Pratt; nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister and brother-in-law, Marion and Douglas Pellett; one sister-in-law, Grace Clark; several nieces, nephews and many friends. Edie was a wonderful wife and mother and a friend to all who knew her. She was a past Senior Regent of the former Johnson City Moose Club and a volunteer puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Inc. She was very proud of the dogs she raised that went into service helping the blind and hearing impaired. Edie was also a longtime member of the Antique Auto Club of America and the local charpter of the AACA, the Iroquois Region. She owned and showed a 1972 Chevelle which she personally helped to restore to its original condition and won many national and local awards, including Grand National First and was twice invited to and showed her car at the prestigious Concours d'Elegance. It was once said, you can't have a car show without Edie, so open heaven's gate and ring a bell, ' cause here comes Edie and that darn Chevelle.
