This post is intended for the Cobb Family and Friends group which I had not gotten around to setting up.
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 call
ed
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.
