She was an amazing seamstress and could be found sewing in her room at the Elms. She was an ambitious homemaker who was noted for baking bread. She loved to go bowling and was still knocking those pins down when she was 95. She was an avid reader and read over 90 large print books since going to the Elms. She enjoyed playing cards and partaking in many events the Elms had to offer. She bragged about her accomplishments in exercise class with Matt and Sherry. <br /> <br />Edna is survived by her sister, Marian Garland, Halifax; daughter-in-law, Linda (Horne) Skelhorn, Garlands Crossing; six grandchildren, Kellie (Brian Perry), Halifax; Sean, Eastern Passage; Paula Hewey (Darrell), Dartmouth; Gregory (Tanya), Prospect Bay; Margot, Toronto; and Davan, Dartmouth; seven great grandchildren, Stephen, Jamie, Cody, Matthew, Emma, Caitlyn and Meagan; one great-great grandson, Jamie. <br /> <br />She was predeceased by her husband, Harold Albert &ldquo;Had&rdquo; Skelhorn (1985); sons, Wayne Harold Skelhorn (2006) and David Dennis Skelhorn (2007), as well as sisters, Kaye Smith and Dorothy Nelson; brothers, William, Clarence, Frank, Ralph, and Gerald Garland. <br /> <br />There will be no visitation of funeral service as per her request. <br /> <br />Arrangements are under the care of Lindsay&rsquo;s Windsor Funeral Home (902-798-2232), 194 King Street, P.O.
