Contact, Woodstown Elementary School (tutoring), Snelbaker Home, chairing the “Old Boys” birthday dinner, The American Red Cross, and as a Big Sister mentor. At St. John’s Church she was the secretary, Editor of the Newsletter “The Seed’, and headed the committee for the monthly Ruritan Club dinners. She was secretary for the Woodstown-Pilesgrove 4th of July Parade for many years. That was in addition to being available to her extended family. After graduating from Woodstown High in 1948 Edith worked for The Boy Scouts Gloucester/Salem Co. Council then Woodstown Bd. Of Ed. and later Kingsway Regional High School. She served one 3 year term on the Woodstown Bd. Of Education.
