Our dear mom, Edna Herrick, passed away suddenly at her home in Buhl on July 24, 2013.

She was born on June 14, 1922 to Otto and Beatrice Warren Johnson. Mom loved being born on Flag Day and would laugh and tease people that all the flags were raised in honor of her birthday. She had a quick wit and a loving and caring personality, her family and many good friends will truly miss her.
