I met Edie more than 25 years ago when she was living in Upper Darby, PA, in the house next to my aunt, around the corner from me. Edie gave me her cat Snickers when she left Upper Darby for 'points West". Edie always had something nice to say. She was a good friend - I will miss her.

To the family of Edie Hinkle I extend my most heartfelt condolences. I had no idea that Edie had passed till I saw her obit today in the Hometown magazine.
Edie was my friend. She was kind and creative, and when she wanted something done- she was a force to be reckoned with. We worked together on many projects with the Punxsutawney Arts Association.
She was always willing to help someone else and always with a smile.
Rest In Peace my friend until we meet again.

She was the sweetest woman I had the honor of knowing; I admired her artistic talent and kindness almost like a second grandma figure to me. As a fellow member of the Punxsutawney Arts Association, she will be deeply missed from the bottom of my heart. My prayers are for the family as well as for her passing.
