This past Monday evening Edna Faye was taken to the emergency room because of tests they had taken at DuBose which indicated she had an infection. Around 9 PM the emergency room doctor told me that it appeared she had a kidney infection. He said that they would make some more tests, treat the infection and keep her overnight.
The emergency room doctor called around 2:30 am on Tuesday to advise that Edna Faye was critically ill which was a tremendous shock to say the least. After a discussion with the family and Edna Faye's long time doctor we all agreed it was best not to continue with further treatment. Both of our children and our three grandchildren came to say their goodbyes and try to comfort her for her remaining days. She died at 6:51 this morning.
All of us feel a terrible loss, but at the same time rejoice in the
fact that Edna Faye will not have to suffer through further loss of her
mental and physical abilities until her incurable disease ultimately
took her life. She was a loving wife of 58 years, a wonderful mother to
our two children and a proud and doting grandmother. Despite her
illness she was still able to come up with quips to keep us laughing and
had that infectious smile which could make everybody happy.
Edna Faye's body will be cremated at the Pugh Funeral Home in Asheboro which was started by her grandfather and is still family run. There will not be a ;public service there, but her ashes will be interred at Christ Church in Charlotte, where she had retained her membership, at some time in the future.
