Author's note: My mother said Gramma Edyth was very healthy for her age, remembers her standing in her kitchen making pies. Only the last couple years of her life(she died at age 92) did her health suffer. She had a couple of strokes, that left her bedridden, and she had trouble with remembering who people were. She definitely had a full life.
