Edith then lived at the Marshall County Home for many years, working in their laundry department. When the Marshall County Home closed, Edith moved to Southridge Nursing and Rehab Center.

She truly loved the staff at Southridge, considering them family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Left to celebrate Ediths life is her brother James C. Trowbridge; her niece Vincene Ridout; her nephews Jim (LeAnn) Trowbridge II and John (Michele) Trowbridge; 10 great nieces and nephews; and 8 great-great nieces and nephews.
