It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Mrs. Vera Edgeworth on Thursday, July 4, 2019 at the age of 87 years. Vera was born and raised in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, and was raised on the family farm, until she married Orval Edgeworth. She worked at Manitoba School until moving to Red Deer in 1976; where she then worked at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre for numerous years, until her retirement.
