After a year and a half courtship, Willard received Art’s blessing and they were joined in marriage on January 4th, 1953 in White Earth. Their first home is fondly remembered as the “honeymoon shack”. Due to the rustic conditions of the cabin and the extra neighbors “mice”, they moved in with her parents two days later. They stayed there until the house they currently resided in was completed. To this union, they were blessed with two children Beverly and Paul. Together Willard and Edra ranched and raised their family in the White Earth Valley. Edra always made sure her kids were taken care of before her own needs. Her children were her pride and joy and she cherished every memory with both children even though their time on earth was short. Throughout Edra’s life she touched many lives. She was very involved in all aspects of the church, including Sunday school teacher, organist, church secretary/treasurer, bible study leader and helping where ever else she was needed. Edra also served as the Myrtle Township clerk. She loved to play the piano, crochet, bake and enjoyed time in her yard, especially sitting on the deck visiting and enjoying the views of the picturesque White Earth Valley. Edra will be remembered for her kind and generous heart. She was always first to bring food and comfort to family, friends and neighbors in need. She was loved by all and will be missed. She is survived by her husband, Willard; sister, Mary; brother-in-law, ElRoy; sister-in-law, Arlene; and numerous nieces, nephews, four “girls” and close friends.
