Edith LeRene "Rene" Silva

Edith "Rene" came into this world on December 18, 1925 in Mesa, AZ as Edith Westover and she left us on November 11, 2010 in Redding, CA
Edith spent most of her life in Red Bluff where she worked as a waitress at the L&M Cafe, Denny's Restaurant and Ming Terrace. She was an excellent cook and homemaker who made the best pies, cakes, candy and bread. Edith had a passion for pubs, especially Sandy and Kenny and she spoiled them rotten.
Edith loved her casino time and WOW could she move that walker through the casino like she had no pain whatsoever. Edith was a strong willed person with survival instincts. She endured many surgeries and ailments all her life and yet she lived almost 85 years.
Edith got married when she was 15 years old to Leonard Hubbard. She had her first son Edward at a young age of 16 and her second son Leonard at 20. She later married Kenneth Silva in 1953 in Willows, CA and had two daughters Karen and Laurie. The family moved to Red Bluff in 1963 and lived there until 2005.
Edith is preceded in death by her mother Edith (1929), father Rex (1990), son Edwoard (1984), brother Marvin (2008) and husband Kenneth (2001), Edith was married to Kenneth for 47 years.
Edith is survived by her son Leonard Hubbard, of Redding, daughters, Karen Silva of Redding and Laura Hanks (Brad) of Corning, two brothers and a sister, a special sister-in-law Rosemary Nunes, nine grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She will be missed by all.
