Edie was not only our Head Cashier/Office Manager at Economy Supermarket - she was a good friend. Never a better boss... Loved her. She always knew the right things to say and was a great listener... Learned much from her. Always sent her Christmas Cards until a few years ago. My deepest sympathies to her whole family. She was an angel then, she is a true angel now - Fly with the Lord Edie - you will never be forgotten~

Rick joins me in sending our deepest sympathy to the McCreary family. Edie Ann was a good friend to my mother, always taking the time to look in on her and spend time visiting. When my husband, Don, passed away in 2004, Edie sent a lovely card and wrote the most beautiful sentiment to me. Always smiling and never down, she brought joy to everyone she met. Our family loved her. She will be sadly missed.
