Edith was a great lady and a very good friend! I knew her from attending Bethel UM Church and also taking some classes at her house. She did so very much to help others.
I also enjoyed seeing her at Barry and Mary's Founds house when my husband and I visited them as she was their next door neighbor! In the Summer we had fun in the pool followed by dinner at Barry and Mary's house! Good memories!
Edith and I have been friends since second grade, all through high school graduation and three years at Beebe Hospital School of Nursing. We never lost touch as adults nor as seniors. We were best friends until Edith went with the Lord. Rest In Peace Edith. You deserve it.

I participated in Edith’s card-making classes a few years ago. She was a lovely lady, fun, enthusiastic and patient. May she rest in peace.
I first met Edith when I joined the handbell choir at Bethel - we played handbells together for quite a few years. Edith really enjoyed ringing bells. I have also attended Bible study with Edith. Edith & I are retired nurses, both graduating from Beebe School of Nursing, so we sometimes discussed medical issues. Edith was a beautiful person, inside & out, who loved her family dearly . She was a person of deep faith & her love for the Lord showed through her day to day actions. I attended her beautiful Celebration of Life today. Listening to her family share their stories about Edith, I feel like I know Edith even better. I was privileged to call her my friend. My thoughts & prayers are with her family. May you lean on God & each other during this difficult time & in the days to follow.
My Dear Edith, I miss you so much. Thank you for your friendship, inspiration and sharing your kindness every day. I am so lucky to have had you in my life.
With Love, Anne
Edith was a sweet lady. She was a customer of mine when I worked for a local landscaping company. We always had a good laugh. I always enjoyed chatting with her. R.I.P. Sharon Jones
