Walsh, Edna Flora Beatrice

Elmsdale, NS

March 30, 1948 - April 29, 2025

It is with profound sadness that the family of the late Edna Walsh announce her peaceful passing on April 29, 2025.

Edna drew her first breath on March 30, 1948 in the community Ecum Secum,NS in the presence of her parents Heath and Marjorie Jewers.

She was the widow of the late Gerald (Gerry) Walsh and was from Elmsdale, Nova Scotia.

A truly social individual, Edna made many friends during her time on this earth. Whether it was at work as a cleaner at the Halifax International Airport, at her classes at the Elmsdale Community Centre, while taking her walks in the community, while playing Bingo at the Enfield Fire Hall or in her final home at the Parkland, her bright smile and kind nature will surely be missed by many people.

She leaves to mourn her 3 sons, Gerald (Jenn Howard) of Enfield, NS, Tim (Krista Leahy) of Wellington, NS and Jerome of Elmsdale, NS. She was very proud of her five grandchildren, Darren (Destiny Macdow), Brandi, Jayden, Tiernan and Landyn, and her two great granddaughters Myra and Laylin. She will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and extended family.

Edna also leaves behind a very special friend and sisterin-law, Jane Walsh of Nine Mile River, NS, to whom the family is very grateful for her friendship with Edna and the care she showed to her.

Edna was the last member of her immediate family, and was predeceased by siblings Beulah, Helen, Edmond, Murray, Patrick, Eleanor, Margaret, Ozwald and Beatrice in infancy.

The family would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and other care givers at the QEII and at Parkland for their care and devotion to Edna.

A celebration of life will be held the Elmsdale Firehall, Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Donations in Edna’s memory are asked to be made to the charity of your choice.
