Mt. Pleasant-- Our beautiful mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, Edna Louise Peterson finally found peace, April 13, 2011.
Edna was born Leap Year Day, February 29, 1924, to George R. and Hannah A. Peterson, Mt. Pleasant.
The last of eight children, she reveled in the fact that she was the youngest child. Because she was born during leap year, she turned 13 the same year as her daughter and 20 the same year as her grandson.
Her spirit was strong and her conviction to live the way she wanted, invincible. Practical and full of common sense, Edna taught, you can do whatever you put your mind to and never underestimate your own power.

Edna graduated high school in Mt. Pleasant, earning a scholarship to BYU Business School, Salt Lake City. She was called home early to care for her sick parents and wasn't able to complete her college experience.
She worked while caring for her parents and after their deaths, she returned to Salt Lake City.
Edna worked at the U.S. Post Office and Veteran's Hospital.
She made many friends, but none as precious as Theodore Ted Davilla, with whom she had their daughter. Dad preceded her in death in 1993.
"Country" never left her blood; she retained the home she was born in, returning every vacation day. After retiring, she moved back to Mt Pleasant. Edna loved the mountains, horse, sheep and chickens. She said there was nothing like country air.
When Edna's health failed, she moved to West Jordan until her death.
Our hearts are aching for our loss but reveling at the celebration in heaven, they must be having for her return. Blessed be dear Mama, we'll miss you more than words can say.
