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.
