text of obituary:
Marie Ediger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Klaas Fransen, was born Sept 13, 1904 in Beaver County, Okla. She grew to young womanhood there.
She married Albert Ediger of Corn, Okla. on Nov 27, 1924. They lived in Beaver County for all but a few years of their married life, which were spent at Corn.
He died in 1973, but she continued living on their farm until her health failed - a brain tumor. She had accepted the Lord earlier in life, served Him and was ready to meet Him on Oct. 19, after her third brain surgery. She had been in a Denver, Colo., hospital for two and one-half months.
She leaves two sons, Ed E. of Longmont, Colo. and Walter P. and wife Sue of Liberal, Kan.; two sisters, Elizabeth and Annie Fransen of Liberal: a brother, Nick Fransen of Meade, Kan.; and four grandchildren.
Memorial services were held in the Turpin Mennonite Church, where she was a member, on Oct 22, 1980. Bob Dalke and David Braun officiated.
