They had five children and moved from Spokane to Moses Lake, and then to Lakewood in 1967.

After 50 years of marriage, Bill passed away in 1997. She met and married Ray Perry in 2003. Edna and Ray enjoyed their time together to the fullest. Edna was also very busy volunteering at St. Frances Cabrini Church and St. Clare Hospital. She was loved by all who knew her for her kindness and generous spirit. She was preceded in death by her oldest son, Jack, in 1983. She is survived by her loving husband Ray, her children Teri (George) Drago, Dan (Christine) Danielson, Patrick (Char) Danielson, and Marybeth (Randy McElroy) Danielson, 12 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
