Edna Deas Wise

It has been my great honor and privilege to know and love both Edna and John Wise. Edna and I, along with that beautiful soul Gladys Tolbert, taught third grade Sunday School together for almost 13 years at First Baptist. That was such a treasured, memorable and uplifting experience! I can honestly say there has not been a warmer, kinder, sweet-spirited Christian lady who has ever influenced my life as much as Edna. My two girls loved her too, ringing out in a chorus of "Edna, I´m glad I met ya!" (Just like the Aetna commercial on tv) every time they heard her name. She often gifted them cross stitch keepsakes and always remembered them at Christmas and on birthdays, keeping up with them into adulthood. While I don´t have words equal to the task of truly honoring Edna as I´d like, i can humbly say she immensely blessed me and so many others with her steadfast friendship and many loving kindnesses. We are sending up prayers for God´s grace and comfort to her beloved family.
Rest in peace dear Edna and we three thank you for truly cherished memories.
