alignjustifyEdna was a devoted wife for 61 years, a loving mother for 61 years and a dedicated Southern Baptist pastor's spouse. She was very committed to her God and church, regularly volunteering as Vacation Bible School director, Training UnionChurch Training director, camp helper and Sunday School teacher.

alignjustifyEdna's favorite pastime was garage sales. She and her daughter Ellen were active as recently as five weeks ago shopping for that nickel or occasionally a quarter treasure.

alignjustifyMrs. Borum shared a home with her daughter Ellen and son-in-law, Layne, during the last three years. These were very happy years as she quickly became a part of Ellen's network of friends and the Taylor Memorial Church family. They all came to know her as a gentle, kind and loving spirit.

alignjustifyEdna lived by the creed, This is the day the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
