EDNA M. CRIST
1925-2010

Edna M. Crist, 84, passed away at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center on July 3, 2010. She was born on August 10, 1925 in Colmesneil, Texas to Orlando and Unney Connor.

Edna loved cooking for her family and there was always more than enough food to go around. Edna always had a large garden and canned her fruits and vegetables to feed her family throughout the year. One of her favorite family trips was camping at the coast where the sound of the waves brought a sense of peace and calmness.
