In Memorium

[garnigal]

My great-aunt Edith passed away today. She was in her 90's - 95ish? She was a career woman in an era when there weren't very many women in careers. She was the last of my grandfather's siblings, the last keeper of the family knowledge (now passed down to me), and a generous and wonderful aunt that all her nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews all adored.

She was a good aunt in all the typical ways, but she also had a streak of sarcasm (in my family? No!) that grew up with the kids. My cousin's kid will only remember her as a nice old lady who always had a cookie and lemonade for him, but the rest of us will remember what an excellent gossip she was. :)
