Edith loved to get dressed and attend the Masonic Lodge Balls with Kenneth and would aways be adorned with a pair of eye catching earrings. She enjoyed a drink of Cinzano and each day she would have her tipple of Baileys. Holidays were always looked forward to enjoying family time staying in caravans at various seaside resorts around the UK. She was the most amazing cook and her whole family always looked forward to some of her cooking and baking treats and her meat and potato pie held legendary status within the family. To Edith family was everything and she loved nothing more than gathering the clan for a celebration.
