Edna was born in Elk River to Hulbert Monroe and Mary Ellen (Turner) King.
She spent her childhood in Headquarters and graduated from Pierce High School in 1942, before she moved to Lewiston the same year.
She worked at Freemans Beauty Craft from 1942 to 1945, Weisfeilds Jewelers from 1956 to 1960, the Bon Marche from 1960 to 1970 and then Western Valley Seed Co. in 1970, before retiring in 1982.
Edna was married to Bill McCrery from 1943 to 1982, to Phillip Kirby from 1984 to 1992, and was a companion to Conrad Hesse until his passing. The past few years and at the end, her joyful companion, Dick Young, was constantly at her side.
Survivors include two sons, Mikel L. McCrery of Lewiston and Steven A. McCrery of Seattle; two stepchildren, Shirley A. Leach of Clarkston and Larry W. Kirby of Seattle; sister Glenna Zagelan of Lewiston; two stepbrothers, Jack Fairley of Orofino and Don Fairley of Lewiston; three grandchildren, Ryan and Rick McCrery of Spokane and Rachel McCrery of Seattle; and many great-grandchildren.
Edna enjoyed boating, camping, gardening, sewing, bowling and dancing - all fun things. She enjoyed her grandchildren very much and they were the uppermost joy of her life.
A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Malcom's Brower-Wann Funeral Home. Please sign the online guest book at www.malcomsfuneralhome.com.
Some cute things Edna said before she passed:
"I don't know how much time I have left, you know, I don't want any chitter chatter in my sorrow, I will miss you, I love you so much."
