Publish in a newspaper
May 2, 1982 – June 30, 2022
Survived by beloved son Gabey (6), admired & loved older brother Adam Reilly, his wife, Christa & nephew Arlo, Mom & partner in crime Deb Reilly. Caring and supportive aunts & uncles; Nancy Hartkopf (Steve), Julie Nelson (Dan), Randy Schroeder (Lauri), & Lori Vierzba (Ed). Cousins; Andrea Allen (Brian) & children; Avery, Nash & Myla, Lucas Nelson (Shantell), Brett Schroeder, Katie Vierzba, Erin Vierzba (Ray), Leah Vierzba (Nick), & Neil Vierzba. Loving grandmother Marge Schroeder. Best friends; Jill H., Michelle G., April J., & Laurel C. & Edana's father Jim Reilly (Candy). Preceded in death by her grandfather Sam Schroeder.
Edana was kind & empathic, she cried about the other patients at the cancer center. She had strong, thought-out opinions about current events in our country and the world. She loved all animals, who hasn't had their seatbelt yanked tight because she screeched to stop for a squirrel in the road? Edana enjoyed all trips big or small, she took her trip of a lifetime to Europe in 2013. She was a great cook & baker (killer bruschetta), she has loved the water since she was a toddler. Edana enjoyed her position as a pharmacy tech and enjoyed her co- workers at Coborn's Pharmacy in St. Joseph. But her greatest accomplishment was being Gabey's mom. & She was the best.
Thank you to the ER & ICU teams on June 30th at the St. Cloud Hospital & the Nurses aids and lab techs at the Coborn's Cancer Center.
