Edna Gresch Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sunset Funeral & Cremation Services and Cemetery - North Olmsted on Sep. 18, 2025.
Edna May Gresch, age 91, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of her life. Born on March 3, 1934, to the late Archie and Edith Weidner, Edna lived a life marked by kindness, resilience, and devotion to those she held dear. She is survived by her beloved husband of 66 years, Glen Gresch, with whom she shared a lifetime of memories and unwavering companionship. Edna was a devoted mother to Glenn (Patricia) Gresch and Nora (Stephen) Mikolaj, and a cherished grandmother to Shawna, Anthony, Brittany, Stephanie, and Zachary. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Aubree, Grayson, Brody, Reagan, Ryleigh, and Landon, who brought her immense joy in her later years. Edna was preceded in death by her eight siblings, whose memories she carried with her always. Her warmth, wisdom, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her. In accordance with her wishes, Edna will be cremated and laid to rest privately at Sunset Memorial Park, North Olmsted, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edna's honor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I was blessed with a mother-in-law whose heart was truly kind. Though it aches to know she is no longer here beside us, there is peace in knowing her suffering has ended. Now, she walks with angels and Polkas with her sisters... light on her feet, needing no hand to steady her - only wings to carry her home.

Grandma, the most fond memories I will forever hold near and dear are the times we would come over to your house and watch Hook and Rescuers Down Under, how you let us play dress up in your wedding dress, how you would always let us play with your `show´ baby dolls, how nothing was ever off limits at your house. I will always cherish how you would come over every Sunday to our house after you and grandpa went to Crackle Barrel and to the Antique shop and bring donuts. When dad would mention `grandmas making´ I would never let him finish the sentence, I just knew we were coming to your house for an amazing dinner. I will never forget laughing our butts off when Antique Roadshow came to town and we saw you and grandpa pass the camera several times waving. No matter how small or big our accomplishments were in life you were always our cheerleader! You will be missed dearly, but I´m so glad you are no longer in pain. Please watch over us! Love you!

Aunt Edna you were always a bright light and full of smiles. I looked forward to our family reunions because I got to see you and grandpa's siblings. You always made me laugh. I will miss you.

Mom, I will miss you forever! It was an honor, taking care of a wonderful woman like you for over two years. I´m glad I had the strength to help you stand to help you go outside the house to the casino where you enjoy yourself and even out to dinners and just walking around the neighborhood let you feel the sun on your face.
I promised you that me and Glenn will take care of Dad. I´m so glad your mom and dad came down for you and took you to heaven to be with all the rest your family.
So glad that you are the best grandma to my kids and the best Gigi to my grandkids they will always love you and I will make sure I share a lot of stories with them as they grow up!
Love you always Nora
