Upon returning home from college she married Fred Edwards, who had been honorably discharged from the Army after serving for two tours in the Korean Conflict. To this union were born three sons, Franklin, Earl and Michael. When all of her children were old enough, and attending school full time, she started to work in the banking industry as a Bank Teller at Citizen’s State Bank. She eventually became the Teller Operations Officer and finally retired to spend more time with her husband Floyd.
After the loss of her first husband she married Floyd Parker who had recently lost his wife. This union added another son – Donald Parker to her family. Floyd and Edna went to Alaska on their honeymoon and then continued to travel extensively throughout the Southwestern United States, exploring, rock hunting and four wheeling. The two travelers finally acquired a winter home in Bouse, Arizona and began to split their time between their home in Lebanon and the place in Bouse.
