Age 77 of Wayne passed Saturday, September 3, 2016.

She was born in Paterson and lived in Prospect Park, Hawthorne, Layton, and Milford, PA before moving to Wayne in 2014.

Edna was a beautician working in North Haledon, she also worked at the Sandyston-Walpack Elementary School in Layton and for twenty-one years she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff before retiring in 2000.

Edna will be remembered as a quiet, reserved, person who had a front license plate frame that said “Happiness is Being a Grandma.” Family Christmas gathering at her home and annual visits to the Sussex County Farm and Horse show were something the family could always count on. She was also an avid flower gardener with a blossom filled yard.

She was the loving mother of Patty Brown of Wayne, and James Brown and his wife Donna of Layton; cherished grandmother of Valerie Panek and Jorge Padmore, Courtney Brown, Alyssa Liebeskind, and Jacob Brown; she was also the deeply loved great-grandmother of Jade Padmore.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, PO Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 18148-0142 would be appreciated.
