She married Ernest Schertenlieb on September 24, 1937 and he preceded her in death on May 20, 1992. Edna was a talented seamstress, making her own clothes and doing alterations for many others. Edna also loved baking breads, gardening both flowers and vegetables and sharing these with anyone that came to visit. Edna and Ernie will be lovingly remembered by their nieces and nephews for sharing their country life. Special memories of “the Farm” include corn roasts, baby chicks, collecting eggs, milking the pet cows and swimming in the pond. Edna loved the animals and had many cows, chickens, geese, canaries, dogs and cats. In her early years she attended Unity Reformed Church and recently was a member of Hope Reformed Church the Women’s Fellowship. She will be reunited in Heaven with her parents; husband, Ernie and 3 brothers, Fred, Edward (Bonnie) and Earl (Irma). She is survived by her brother, Raymond (Lois) St. Amour; sister-in-law, Dorothy St. Amour and brother-in-law, Fred (Ruth) Schertenlieb, all of Muskegon.
