Edna Whaley

Edna Whaley passed from this life into eternity, without any apparent sickness or warning, on April 6th, 2024. She simply laid her head back during breakfast and woke up in glory.

Born January 7th, 1934, in the small community of Cooper, Ky, the 12th child of 14 to the late Willie & Myrtie Burgess, of Monticello, Ky. Preceded in death by her beloved husband of 54 years, Robert Whaley, Sr and 12 of her siblings.
