Edna was a Past Matron of Jubilee Chapter #64, Order of the Eastern Star and was an active lifetime member of the Cranbrook United Church. Community involvement and inclusion were priorities in her life.

In 1950, Edna married Charles Fred Ferguson (Charlie) and they were married for 50 years when Charles died in 2004.

Being outdoors was a love of Edna’s and in her healthier years she enjoyed golf, curling, cross country skiing, hiking and camping.

She was predeceased by both her parents, brother, Douglas Langin, and sisters, Isabel Budd, Agnes Bishop and Lorna Wadstein.

Edna and Charlie, along with Dorothy and Ed Hinton and Loren and Betty Bay, successfully operated the Cranbrook Discount Foods for 15 years.

In Edna’s recent years, she moved to Vernon to be close to her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.

A special thank you to the staff at Creekside Landing, particularly Elfie.
