She married Donald Phelan on February 25, 1954 and passed away on what would have been their 68th anniversary. Edna and Don moved into his family home in Greenwich, his job with the Department of Highways took him away from home a lot, summers they packed up and went wherever the job site was, making many lifetime friends. Edna knew grief as her third child passed away suddenly at the age of five. Her husband passed away at the early age of 51, she then made her home at the New Minas Senior Complex for over 30 years. She had many friends and neighbours, whether it was from Bingo, playing cards, the 'machines', or getting a great flea market deal '96 which we can all attest to, by the many treasures that surrounded her.
