I worked with Edel for many years. She was such a pleasant and easy going lady. I became her walking buddy at Trexler Park. I really enjoyed the time I spent with her. Rest In Peace Edel

I worked with Edelgard at Laneco on Lehigh St for about 12 years until she retired. When i first transferred to that Lehigh St location i was a little afraid of her! However after just a short time I realized under her thick accent she had a Big Heart! She was always somewhat strict but also very fair. I remember once we all had to evacuate the supermarket because of a small fire. It was a beautiful day outside and Edel kept us laughing the whole time! She was a "Hoot" and fit in nicely with the crew! Yes-- she was just one of the girls. She was also very attractive and had a beautiful head of hair. She often spoke of her family and was very happy when her son and daughter would come in to visit her at work. Sometimes her daughter would shop with her after work and you could see they were having a good time! I will always miss the good times we had together at work and send my sincere condolences to her family. Rest in Peace Edel and Godspeed Ahead~~~You Earned It!
