Passed away Peacefully with her family by her side Wednesday, September 23rd at the Ian Anderson House Hospice in Oakville at the age of 74. Predeceased by her husband John, beloved Mother of Jo-Anne (Russell Moreau) and Rob (Heather McNaughton), Sister and Sister in Law to Marjorie and Bob Shotton, their sons Michael and Andrew. Beloved Grandmother of Parker, Emily, Ethan, Harper and Lucas.

Edna emigrated to Canada in 1969 with her husband John from Newcastle, England and with her sister Marj., owned and operated the Chantry Hairdressing Salon in Bronte for over 30 years. Hairstyles and haircuts were the reason their customers came, but lifelong friendships were forged with the warmth and character that welcomed everyone as if they were family. Throw in some political banter, a touch of gossip, some personal experiences and strong shoulders of support, many, many cups of tea and always a profound and generous sense of humour that made the Chantry a mainstay in the Bronte Business Community and made the sisters beloved in the area for decades.

Edna will be remembered for her love of travel and culture, history and her unique passion for all things inspired on the Las Vegas strip. Most of all, Edna will be remembered for her tireless devotion to her family, her unwavering strength and compassion, her selflessness and her integrity that were singularly her own.

A Memorial Service and reception will be held in Edna's honour and in celebration of her life at the Kopriva Taylor Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville, Ontario L6K 1E1 on Sunday October 4th, 2015 at 3pm.
