Edith received her education in the Horry County School System. She gave her life to God at an early age and was a member of Victoria Chapel Church, which she enjoyed attending. Edith was employed at Blue Water Resort for many years, working alongside her best friend, Ella Bromell, who preceded her in death. She loved helping out others in any way she could. Her family was her life. She was always surrounded by children, grandchildren, and so many great-grandchildren who all referred to her as MAMA. She loved spending time with family. Edith was a loving daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, auntie, and caring friend to many. She enjoyed dancing, fishing, cooking, and listening to hours of gospel; Lee Williams in particular. But more than anything, she loved being around her family. She lived her life like it was truly golden, right to the end.
