Biography

Edna was born in 1926. She passed away in 1982. From Bert Benson's obit records, she was previously married to a Manser and had at least two children. This is confirmed by manifest docs for a cruise ship as those children named as brothers and sisters to Bert are shown on this same manifest. Please note that no husband was with her on that trip. Her younger son, Bert, is buried beside her.
