Edna was born on Jan. 31, 1923, at Hazelgreen, Mo., to Claude E. and Mary Mae Bowling. She lived in Missouri and Texas before moving to Oregon in 1938 where she met and married Emanuel Aichele in 1941. They made their home in Milton-Freewater where they raised three children. Edna enjoyed homemaking, canning, cooking, sewing, raising flowers, reading and being involved in her children's school and church activities. Later, she enjoyed working as a home-care provider, nurse's assistant, home child care provider (baby-sitting) and in the fruit packing houses. Her favorite job was working as a teaching assistant at the local day care and preschool center. Emanuel died in 1987. She married Jack Woods of Milton-Freewater in 1989. They divorced in 1994.

Edna married James G. Harwood of Echo in 1996. They met at a yard sale and Edna always thought she got a great bargain. The couple lived in Weston before moving to North Powder in 2002 where they lived until they entered the assisted living center in Baker City in 2013. Edna recently entered the memory care unit where she lived for the last five weeks of her life. While in North Powder, Edna and Jim attended the Methodist Church and enjoyed baking zucchini bread and cooking together. She loved visiting friends and family. If you met her once, you were her friend for life.

She loved reading her Bible and her faith saw her through life and health challenges. Her memory failed in the last year of her life, but during her last few days she was very clear about going home to be in the presence of the Lord. "Her smile and laughter brought joy to her family, friends and world," her daughter, Glenda, said.
