In 1944, she graduated from Lehman High School. Shortly afterwards, she lost her beloved father. Edie moved with her mom and younger sister, Lois, to Lima, Ohio.

Randy proposed in 1948, while a student at Central Radio & Television School in Kansas City, Missouri. They were married on April 16, 1950, settled in Hilliard, Ohio, and celebrated 53 years together before his passing in April, 2003. In addition to her husband and parents, Edie was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Kathleen Anne. She was also preceded by her brother, John and brother in law, Henry Hinds.

Edie took up the game of golf at the age of 70. Her favorite color was yellow and she loved sunflowers. Edie effortlessly found something positive everywhere she looked.
