It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Edith Roberts on Thursday, November 25, 2010 at St. Joseph's Hospital Comox, BC. Edith was born 74 years ago in Chesley, Ontario. She joined the armed forces where she met her husband John, together they enjoyed 54 years of happiness before her passing. John and Edie moved to Moose Jaw in 1961 where she began a career as a hairdresser that spanned more than 30 years. In those years she owned and managed the East End Beauty Salon, as well as Hollywood Reflections. Edie retired and moved with John to Comox where they operated a Bed and Breakfast known as The Cosey Corner. There she met and entertained people from all over the world and enjoyed telling stories of just who had been there to visit.
