One of her favorite places to go was Sykes to eat dinner, have one of the best cinnamon rolls in town or a piece of pie.
Edith was preceded in death by her parents; husbands; one daughter Margaret "Peggy" and one son, George.
She is survived by three sons, Harold Johnson and wife, Lisa, and Ron Johnson and wife Sharon all of Kalispell, and Tom Johnson of Contact, Nevada; one daughter Nada Dunkin of Kalispell, 10 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.
