Edna will be fondly remembered as a good neighbour to our mum and someone who was a Christian and trusted in the Lord.
We were able to see her a week before she died and was able to share a bible reading with her which was a good moment to share with her. The reading was from 2 Chronicles 9:16 first part. We also remembered Romans 8:28 with her as this shows the love the Lord has for those he has chosen.
Edna's family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers on the day of her funeral and appreciate that a Edna being a Christian was the best kind of neighbour.
Love Lance and Jennifer Botelle

In loving memory of Edna Patricia Everitt who sadly passed away on 1st September 2016
Mum was born in 1931 and had, in her words, loving brothers and sisters. She spoke fondly of her mum and dad. She was evacuated during the war and told great stories about 'Aunty and Uncle' with whom she spent time with in Wales.
She had an array of jobs throughout her life: wallpaper shop, on the buses, in the hospital, Kimberly Clark's, cleaning, Cinema, Hop Picking to name just a few. She did voluntary work with charities including the Salvation Army and helping the homeless and up until a couple of years ago, volunteering at a junior school to help children improve their reading.....and of course a Mother!
She set up, organised and ran a majorettes troupe.
And, inspirational as always, she returned to college, in her 30's to get the O'levels she missed out on when she was a child, owing to the war.
Mum loved her husband George, and spoke about him daily. His passing in 2008 broke her heart.
She had 5 children, Linda, Tracey, Andrew, Hayley and Darren. She loved all her children, speaking fondly of them all, right up to the moment of her passing.
She had 14 grandchildren and one great grandchild, whom she adored.
Mum was devoted to the Salvation Army, it was her passion, her calling serving it throughout her life. One of her fondest memories was attending the Royal Albert hall when she was 14, to watch the Salvation Army band and singers perform; She made some true friends through the Salvation Army, Maureen, Anna and Audrey. They remained with her always and were so close to one another.
Susan was her neighbour for over 40 years and remained a true and dedicated friend, throughout mum's illness.
This is a celebration to the life of a wonderful woman, a great lady and a true friend please fill this book with love and help celebrate the life of my mum:-
