Edna Priebe Luedeke was born January 7, 1918, in the Town of Merton, WI, the daughter of Fred and Lydia Zarling Priebe. As a child she lived in various places, settling in Oshkosh where she worked as a maid for the Bell and O’Connor families.

Edna was a lifetime member of Martin Luther Church where she served in the Ladies Guild, Pioneers, nursery, Lutheran Women’s Mission Society, Bible Class, and prayer chain.
Her home welcomed many friends of her children, stopping for homemade bread, potlucks, and just hanging out.
