Edith Fanning

The summer of 2007, Aunt Edith came to New Castle to stay for awhile. Even though she may not have known us, she still smiled and I guess we hoped inside that she recognized us. We will miss her.

I always think of Aunt Edith smiling and laughing as she sat at Grandma's kitchen table when visiting the farm. As I got older I was reminded of my father's smile and her's being so similar. I looked forward to any visits from Aunt Edith, Uncle Gray, Jimmy, Bobby and Susan. It meant more fun at Grandma's for me for a week or two in the summer.

My sister was one of the nicest people I have ever known. She was always there for me when growing up.She always looked like a movie star when she and Gray went to all the Navy functions.She was a big game player and especially enjoyed playing Yatze which we always played when ever we visited. She'll be sorely missed

A friend of the Mershimer family for many years. Sorry to hear of your loss.

With so many negative things being said about mother in laws, I can truly say mine not like that at all. She was patient, kind and gentle. These qualities, patience, kindness and gentleness are so evident in her children. I will forever be changed because of the example she set for me.

My mom was such a wonderful person and I have many happy memories of her. She was the sweetest person I ever knew and I strive everyday to be the kind of person she was. She is at peace now and out of pain.

Edith was a wonderful friend. I enjoyed her and Gray. We played golf and cards together. I have some wonderful memories of her sense of humor and good nature. I will miss her.
