Extending my sincere sympathy to the family of Edna Febrey. Our family lived just around the corner from Jack and Edna in Wellburn and we were always welcome in their home for visits etc. After Jack was gone I would often go and mow the lawn in summer for Edna. Won’t forget her lovely smile. To the boys Jim John and Joe May God bless and keep you in His care. And to you especially Joe it’s been such a pleasure the days and fun we shared together in our growing up years. Precious memories. So keep me in the loop when you’re having the celebration of life and feel free to drop by anytime to visit. We’re on Facebook now aye ? Call 519-461-9535. Until then 👍

May the kind words and thoughtful recollections of how your Mom helped others smile and was loved bring you comfort. Know that as you go forward moments in life will keep her with you, make you smile and ease your pain. Edna was a passionate fan who gave you strength knowing she was in your corner, had your back. God Bless

Jim: I met your mom several years ago when she was a care giver for Aileen Fairhall. Edna was a friend and a devoted neighbour to her. She became a client and friend to me, always had a smile making your day brighter. She went through many set backs but always worked hard to over come them.
She loved to share in conversation about her family and how excited she was the day she showed up in her little red car. I’am sure the tires rarely were cold.
I know how you, your brothers and families will miss her. She had a heart much bigger than most.
My thoughts are with you!
Sylvia Enstrom
To on Jim, John and Joe. This is a sad day. Thinking of you all and your families. Hugs all around to you all. Lots of love Ray and Sylvia

A note of condolence to Edna’s children, grandchildren and family. Your Mom/Grandma was a childhood friend and we had plenty of fun in our growing up years. I remember on hot summer days swimming with your Mom in my grandparents’ pond. My deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of your Mom and Grandma.
Tom and Susan Grieve
As part of the extended Walker Clan, your mom was always Aunt Edna to us as well. Whenever we crossed paths at family gatherings, she was always gracious and kind, with a smile for everyone. Be comforted by your memories and we send our your sincere sympathy.

I am heart broken at the passing of your mom. I have so many great memories of “Auntie Edna” and the years your family spent in Ft McMurray. My thoughts are with all of you; we are better people for her having touched our lives.
Rhonda and Paul Dobbins
We are so terribly sorry to hear of Edna’s passing. We met her and Jack through my in-laws, Charles and Irene Dobbins. Meeting them had brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and were always over joyed to see them at conventions and when they would make the trip down into the States on their way to see Joe and family. we were a stopping point. What fun we had, Edna and I would shop till we dropped, go for walks, cook, and laugh, and laugh and laugh! We are still telling and laughing over both their jokes and antics. They brought sunshine, laughter, joy and down right common sense with them. She and Jack were loved by us all here. Our condolences and sympathies to all the family who she loved so well and dearly.

Vera Huiberts and Family
We are so sorry about the loss of a dear friend and neighbour. Edna and Jack lived next to Vera and Herman in Wellburn for several years. Then years later, Vera and Edna became neighbours again in Fairhill Residence. We were sure that Jack and Herman had somehow arranged that! We will miss Edna’s kindness, beautiful smile and heartfelt hugs. She was a real gem and we will always have such good memories of her.
The Dales
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Hang on to the good memories.

Sincere sympathy to ‘the Febrey’ boys and your families. There were many fun memories created over the years especially as fellow hockey parents. She was so proud of each of you.
Carolyn Johns
Sorry to hear this. Edna was my room mate for a week of her radiation treatments last fall at the Residence Inn. She was such a warm, friendly person with so many interesting life stories. I feel very honored to have met her even if it was just for a brief time. But this last few months without professional sports to watch on TV, must have been very long for her.
Joan Hill
Our deepest sympathies to all of Edna’s family and friends. May she RIP. Always had fun when Edna was around.
