Edna Mendicki Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 29, 2023.
Edna Mae Mendicki of Harrison Twp., MI aged 82 years, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on August 24, 2023. Edna was a long-time devout Christian with a strong faith that she shared over her many years with friends, family and strangers. She was known to be an instrumental figure in her prayer groups and a firm believer that everything was in God's hands. Edna touched many lives over the years with her faith, generosity, love and helping those in need. Edna is survived by her children Tammy Myers of FL, Robert of CA, Nancy of West Bloomfield and Jill (Al) Ranella of Howell; grandchildren Brandon (Amber) Myers, Samantha Myers, Justin Myers, Nicole Mendicki, Taylor Ranella, Kali (Brett) Sherry, Lindsey Ranella and many great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her mother Sandy Barnett and her son Todd. Edna was born an only child in Corpus Christi, TX and at the age of five moved to Detroit, Michigan with her family where they resided until moving to St. Clair Shores at the age of fifteen. Since then, Edna remained a Macomb County resident for the rest of her life. Edna was known for her infectious laughter, quick wit and her great story telling. Edna's greatest attribute was her daily prayers for each of her children, and their children, that God would keep them safe and strong in His love.

Very sorry to hear of Edna´s passing, but I know she had the blessed assurance that she would be praising her Lord for eternity.
I worked with Edna for years, and we had great conversations! She was a great story-teller and she knew the state of the world, and she knew that Heaven was the place we should all long to be!
She always remembered my wife, my son and even my dog!
You could tell she loved people!
Our loss is Heaven´s gain! Rest in Peace Miss Edna.

My beautiful loving grandmother. How I wish I could turn back the clock and soak in an extra 5 minutes of you teaching me about our Savior. To snapshot and never let go of your adorable outburst of laughter over your own stories. I´ve loved every little and every extra detail you have provided and poured out. The God fearing woman who never cracked nor broke. You always endured life in love, strength, integrity, and yearned to continue to learn and develop new outlooks of what life has to offer. Never quick to anger, positive and filled with utter most joy. I love you in endless amount of words that only Jesus can come to comprehension. I´m at utter peace you´re in eternity of everything you have craved for so many decades with our Savior but selfishly I ache knowing I have to wait these worldly years to be reunited. Thank you for teaching me such valuable lessons and showing me your wisdom that I can collectively use and pass down to my children one day. I don´t need to look for signs of you, for God is guiding me and the family through this. Our adorable bird, I´m so fulfilled to know your wings have sprawled out to their full potential showing every battle scar and great lengths they have taken as you swiftly and strongly soared up high. As some feathers fall and lay behind from your wings, each feather lies differently with all of us and are reminders of some peace yet sorrow. Love your Taylor baby.
