Thank you everyone for all of your kind words, thoughts, and prayers during my
difficult time. Although my rough times have just begun, I know it's going to
get worse. I still feel very numb, and I am exhausted. Next week I will get
back to work, and start some kind of a normal routine, whatever that is. I used
to call my mom every day after work, and that's going to be very difficult for
me. I couldn't have said it any better, Peg, my mom was the best of the best,
the best mom that's for sure. Lucy Edmonds, class of 73

born in Hume, IL, on February 11, 1923. Dorothy and Bill were married 60
years before his death in 2002. Together they had 7 daughters. She was the

homemaker. She worked at Waverly Schools for 22 years. She was a member of

Everyone who knew appreciated her love for life and her deep faith. She is
survived by her daughters Sue (Ron) Olds, Barb Edmonds, Ginny (Ted) Pollock,

Ellen Terrill. She was preceded in death by her husband Bill, parents Lucy
