Edelgard Kunz-Lenzo RN, BScN

Edelgard, just thought of you today, I´m not sure why. You were my favourite manager and you made working in the NRT so pleasant for me. You were so kind to all the new nursing staff, even setting up a mentorship program. You were so thoughtful and I loved working with you. Missing you and hoping you´re resting happily up in heaven.

01/31/2021 - Over the years I have often thought of Edelgard. Just today I googled her name in hopes of contacting her. I was so sad to find her obituary. We worked together at St. Joe’s. I always hoped we would be on the same shift. Edelgard had a great work ethic and even the hardest days were easier with her around. More importantly, we had many chats about the things that really matter in life—family, faith, and our future.
Please accept an expression my sincere sympathy.

Dear Ed,
You were my first best friend in high school. Then Nikki, you and I and sometimes more of our school buddies, had some really fun times together. We went to Europe together for one full year right after high school. We stayed with your dear friends in Wuppertal Germany and with my relatives in Devon England and then in Bern Switzerland. And we worked in Frauenspital, the Women's Hospital in Bern for four months. On our days off we would hop on the train right next to the...

Edelgard, you always had something kind to say and always asked me how I was. Your presence and grace was always a blessing. You will be missed, but are undoubtedly resting in the kindness and love you brought to us.

You will be missed. Not only did I have the pleasure of working with you but I also received the best nursing care from you. You were the best and I am so happy to have known you.

Thanks Edel for giving me my start in the ICU. The knowledge you gave has helped me throughout my practice as a nurse. May your family find peace through your good work.
