Edith was such an inspiration when I was attending Weight Watchers meetings back in the 90s. She was always so sweet and positive. I always looked forward to seeing her smiling face as I walked in the door for a meeting. But she sure wouldn't let you get by with any excuses and that's exactly what I needed! LOL. I know she will be missed.

Edith was such a sweet soul. She helped and inspired me to reach my goal weight when she worked at Weight Watchers. She was the best leader they have ever had! We all loved her. May God Bless you all and may Edith rest in peace.
