Edna attended school in Lohrville through the 9th grade. She then worked at the local 5 & 10 store, where she sold some of her needlework. Edna also worked as a nanny for a local resident. Edna planned to further her education for career in interior design, until she met Richard. On August 21, 1946, Edna was united in marriage to Richard Earl Weeks at the Catholic Church in Lohrville, where she was baptized. Six children: Janice, Thomas, Frances, Johnathan, William and James were born to this union. They first lived in Coon Rapids, Iowa where they cared for her Uncle Jake. Later they moved to the Viola area where they farmed and raised their family. Edna was a homemaker who loved to sew and bake, she served as a 4-H leader for many years and was a member of the neighborhood ladies' group. Richard and Edna moved to Audubon in 1968. Edna was a seamstress and also painted and wallpapered many homes in Audubon. She started work at the Ben Franklin Store in 1969. For a short time she worked at Marv's Grocery Store and at the Audubon Public Library where she loved reading to the young people. Later she was employed at the Audubon Congregate Meals as a cook and then the Audubon Food Pride Deli. Edna was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Audubon and the Catholic Women's Group. She was a past member of the Audubon County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and enjoyed making ornaments for their Christmas tree. She loved to crochet the infant caps for the new-borns there. Edna and Richard enjoyed getting together with their friends to play pitch, pinochle, bingo and going on tour bus rides to casinos and Branson. They also enjoyed nature, fishing, gardening, growing flowers and watching the birds and squirrels. Edna loved to sew, crochet, talk politics, and to watch sports - such as Iowa and Iowa State basketball and football, and she especially liked Tiger Woods.
