After Melvin's death in 1989, Edith went back to school and obtained her LPN license. After much traveling and moving she settled in Nebraska to be closer to her sons.

Edith is survived by two sons; Robert Carter (Julie) of Minden and Steven Carter (Jana) of Grand Island and four grandkids; Nicholas Carter, Misty Cole, Rebecca Aspel and Lela Carter and many great grandchildren. Two sisters; Esther Burket (Ron) and Elaine Petersen (Mike) and one brother, Lloyd Scarrow (Charlotte Hallet).

Edith was preceded in death by her husband Melvin; two sons, Michael and Scott; one sister, Ethel; two brothers, Jay Dee and Floyd; and her parents, Wilber and Gracie.

Edith gave her all to her family and friends, never asking for anything in return. She held strong to her faith and found comfort there through all of life's challenges and tribulations.
