Edith was a loving, thoughtful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, such as cooking, baking, eating good food and crocheting. She had a special fondness for animals and cherished the occasional, accidental visit to the casinos.

Edith is survived by her daughter, Jeanne Brennan of Cranston, RI and her twin sister Elizabeth Smolinski of Pomona, California. She also leaves behind several grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Her life was imbued with a deep love for her family, cherishing every moment spent with them.
