Edith Kay Graeff (née Jung), Jan. 29, 2022, entered into eternal glory and rest, at the age of 76. At the time of her passing she was surrounded by her three sons and the love from her extended family and friends.
Edith was born December 26, 1945, to the late Lester & Virginia (née Lorance) Jung Sr., of St. Louis, MO. She was the beloved sister of Lester (Sandi) Jung Jr. A loving mother to Richard (Emily) Graeff, Cory Graeff and Robert (Shanna) Graeff. She was a beloved "Maw maw" to her six granddaughters. She absolutely loved and adored Mia, Amelia, Lilah, Vivian, Rowan and Lydia. Edith was a dear aunt, cousin and a friend to many!
Edith was an animal lover and cared deeply for her dog, Zoey, and her cat, Kasha.
Edith spent 22 years of her life working for Saint Louis University- School of Law. She had an amazing talent for creating jewelry and knitting. She loved to cook and bake and had a passion for photography. She was a generous soul who was a foster parent for kids in emergency situations, volunteered with women's shelters and a supporter of World Vision and the Burkina Faso Outreach.
