She was preceded in death by her mother and stepfather, Herbert Body Sr., who lovingly raised her; father; brothers, Roy Ivory Brown and Herbert Body Jr.; and cousin, Barbara Jean Stewart.
The family would like to thank the West Garden staff at Golden Living Center-Golden Rule for the wonderful care they gave to Edna daily.
