Edith was a devoted family lady who loved her home. She was a great cook and made the best ever Christmas dinners with homemade apple sauce.

Edith was my neighbour for 32 years. I have enjoyed some very long chats over the garden fence about all sorts of subjects, when we should have been doing garden chores. A good conversationalist, I’ll miss putting the world to rights with her. Me and my sons are sad at her passing and our thoughts are with her family.

Christine McDermott (nee Lambert)

Dear Roger & Michael and family, I was so sorry to hear this news of Aunty Edith who was a favourite Aunt. I have many special memories of her and your dad and will cherish them always. In fact my Son Ashton is named Ashton Jack after your dad! Aunty Edith was so gentle and kind and loving and she will be sadly missed by myself and Belinda and of course, your families. I will definitely be logging in for her funeral and I send my deepest sympathy to you all. Take care and I’ll be in touch by personal email.
