Edith was always upbeat and had a tremendous sense of humor. She was an angel who would visit my mother and I with treats and her marvelous company. Edith was a gift to all who met her and I remember her with a smile.

Edie Phelan: the Will Rogers of the Village of Golf! Your warmth and humor will be deeply missed, and we were privileged to share it while we were neighbors. Heartfelt sympathy to Dick.

Edie
Truly one of a kind. Wonderful story teller and conversationalist. An avid antique collector, book reader, and one who volunteered her time to worthwhile causes. Overall, an examplery person. A friend to young people and a person with a clever sense of humor, and master of puns. Jay
