love of her very special Aunt Lena molded her into an unselfish Christian full of unconditional love for
others. Edna and Harold made their home in Kopperston where they made growing up fun and
carefree and where she continued to reside with her daughter Susan. Edna was a marvelous
homemaker who could make old things look new, simple food taste wonderful and win the love of
every child she met. She was a member of the Delilah Methodist Church where she was a beloved
Sunday School teacher for many years and a choir and women’s group member. Edna leaves behind the
broken hearts of sisters Hazel Hale and Elizabeth Hale both of Blacksburg, VA, a son Harold Dillon and

compassion shown to her family. We pray that God will continue to bless their efforts. We also want
to thank the loving members of Delilah Methodist Church and Minister Ron Acord for all of their caring
