The family of Edna Mailman regret to announce her passing on Sunday, May 19, 2024, at the Cove Guest Home in Sydney.
Born on August 1, 1935, in Seabright, NS, Edna was the daughter of the late Marshall Melvin and Margaret Mary (Bush) Zwicker.
Edna worked at the fish plant and took care of the elderly. She volunteered at both nursing homes and private homes taking care of seniors. She enjoyed fishing of any kind and stopping for ice cream whenever possible.
Edna lived in Halifax in her younger years and met her husband there. They moved to Main-A-Dieu after their marriage.
Edna is survived by her sons, Kevin (Nancy) and Ellsworth (Sheri); grandkids, Amanda, Crystal, Kevin, Amber, Robyn, Lukas, Mitchell, and Jesse; sister-in-law, Shirley; several great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Edna was predeceased by her husband, Harvey Charles Mailman; brothers, Harold and Melvin (Barbara), and daughter, Heather.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Cove Guest Home for the care of Edna in her time of need and to her daughter-in-law, for your assistance over the past few years.
Visitation and memorial service to celebrate the life of Edna Mailman will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier on Sunday, May 26, 2024. A gathering of family and friends will take place from 1 to 2 p.m. with the memorial service to follow at 2 p.m. in the All Faith Chapel with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating.
