She was born in Canastota, N.Y. a daughter of Frank P. and Mary Fiore and the youngest of 14 children (seven sisters and seven brothers). She grew up in a small three bedroom house in Canastota, N.Y.

Edith was a graduate of Canastota High School and married Robert Dumigan of Syracuse, N.Y. who retired from Carrier Corporation.
Edith worked for her brothers at Fiore's Medical Center Pharmacy of Oneida, N.Y, and the Prescription Center Pharmacy of Rome and Utica, N.Y for many years.
