Edith will be sadly missed by her daughter Dallas (Larry) Oberik of Regina, SK; son Reid (Lori) Presunka of Cloverdale, BC; grandchildren Jessie, Josh, Caitie (Reese) and Jordy; brother Ray; and Aunt Myrtle. Edith was the youngest of three children born to Harry and Jessie Wheeler in Crystal City, MB. In 1947 she married Frank Presunka and moved to Glenboro, MB. Frank soon purchased the Glenboro Gazette and Edith was promoted to the woman behind the successful man. The Gazette staff was expanded by the arrival of two children, Dallas (1951) and Reid (1954). She was a great cook and hostess, and loved to knit, needlepoint, and sew. Edith volunteered her time when a need arose and served on numerous organization boards in the community. She was proud of her family and their achievements.
