Whereas, Edith moved to the United States in 1949 and earned her American citizenship in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951 while her husband was serving a hardship tour in Japan. The couple parented a fine family of three children, Kathleen (Norman Arthur), Karen, and Michael, who gave their parents the joy of two grandchildren, Julie and Michael (Joannie), and one great-grandchild, Connor. Edith was married to her "Mac" for fifty years. He passed away in 1998; and
Whereas, from 1968 until 2002, this caring lady flew at least once a year to Europe to take clothes and needed items to family members behind the Iron Curtain in Romania and East Germany.

Whereas, the General Assembly is proud to honor this truly lovely lady at the celebration of her ninetieth birthday, and the members join with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,
