She was raised on a farm southwest of Linton where she helped with daily chores and taking care of the younger children. She attended school and completed the 8th grade.She married Ted Bossert on October 27, 1939. They made their home and worked together on the farm until 1949 when they moved to Linton. They raised four children: Tyrone, Terry, Tonita, and Teddy.Love is just a word until someone gives it meaning. Edna knew how to love. Her life was dedicated to her faith and her family. For eighteen years, she cared for her mother and helped her father while raising a family of her own. As her children grew-up, she loved to watch her family grow. Being a grandmother was her favorite role. Throughout their childhoods, she provided daycare for her grandchildren and made sure each of them had time to snuggle on her lap and hear her lullabies. She would spend leisure time making special items, such as blankets, stockings, doilies, and ornaments to give to her family as gifts. She shared words of wisdom, sometimes subtle, sometimes direct, but always with the best intentions. Edna enjoyed playing card games, especially Whist and Perfrank, with family and some special friends. She treasured time with those she loved.She led a simple life and enjoyed the little things. She enjoyed hosting family gatherings made with her special meals. Many have tried to duplicate her dishes and baked goods, but they never tasted just like Edna's. Family and friends looked forward to enjoying her homemade apple pie, strudels, knoepfla, cookies, and Bossert hotdish, to name a few. It just wasn't a family gathering without her foods and serving them gave her great joy. Her gatherings and specialties have become family traditions.Edna was grateful for her many blessings and looked forward every opportunity to celebrate. Birthdays, baptisms, graduations, weddings and even funerals did she rarely miss. She believed it was important to celebrate the life they lived and the gift they were to us. Now we come together to celebrate the life of one of the biggest blessings in our lives, Edna Bossert.
