(nee: Coomes) Boiles of Lake St. Louis, MO, died on Sunday, September 6, 2015, at the age of 86. Loving wife of John Boiles; beloved daughter of Granville and Rosa-Nell Coomes; devoted mother of Robert (Maria) Boiles, Bonnie (Chris) Miget, Kevin (Sandra) Boiles, Dennis Boiles, and Catherine (Brad) Sammann; cherished grandmother of thirteen; and treasured great-grandmother of three. She was preceded in death by her siblings Granville Coomes, Jr., Larthenia Squire, and Robert Coomes. Edna was born on July 18, 1929 in Hagerstown Indiana, the 4th (and last) child of Granville and Nell Coomes. It's only coincidence that the stock market crashed 3 months later -- but growing up in a small town during the Great Depression & World War II had a huge influence on the person she became: a woman with strong Midwest values, a woman who treasured her family and friends, a woman who appreciated the small gifts in life – and a woman who could stretch a dollar like nobody's business. In 1947 the smartest girl in Hagerstown graduated from high school and packed her bags for Ball State College. Although her main objective was to study nursing, she soon met a quiet, serious farm boy in the math department; both of them worked in the school cafeteria, and they quickly became inseparable friends. Edna & John married right after receiving their college degrees in 1951, and 12 years later they finally put down roots in the St Louis area – with 5 children born in 3 different states. Edna loved visiting her extended family back in Indiana - and she loved visiting other places when she got the chance, including Florida and Texas and Hawaii and Germany, just to mention a few. She loved reading books and solving crossword puzzles, and watching her TV mysteries and game shows, and sending birthday cards to her friends and children and 13 grandchildren. She loved being part of her church community, and singing in the choir allowed her to share her love of music with her church family. And once her children had grown and the oldest had gone off to college, she loved going back to work as a school nurse. Edna was many things to many people. To some she was the friendly and gracious lady they loved to see at church while she was still able to attend. To her parents and brothers and sisters she was the baby of their family, but I know they're all together now planning another one of those infamous Coomes family reunions and waiting for the rest of us to get there someday. To John she was his best friend and devoted wife of 64 years. All of us love her and we'll miss her, but we know she's peaceful now and in a better place.
