I had the privilege of teaching with Edith at Sicomac, where she and Barbara Keller "mentored" me through my first year teaching 2nd grade, answering a gazillion questions and offering suggestions in most gracious ways. Edith and her beloved Roy were a wonderful, fun couple. I'll never forget the good times we all used to have with them at staff parties at the Farinella's and the Weisiger's homes. The last time I saw Edith was after she retired and visited the Sicomac teachers' lunch room, bringing along some of the exquisite china dolls she had handcrafted, a new hobby. I know she embraced her retirement with gusto as a new phase of her life, pursuing many activities and enjoying time with her family and many friends. We'll all miss her smile, her wit, her charm, and her generous heart.
