Edna was born in Cleveland, OH, on July 25, 1945, the daughter of William and Cynthia (Brandes) Hecker, and was a lifelong area resident. Edna’s accomplishments and work credits are very vast. She had worked for the former Sonyea Psychiatric Center, Monroe Games in Arcade, the restaurant business (including owning the (Good Friends Café) and catering, dog warden, as a 911 dispatcher for Allegany County, and working for MTS Inc. in Scio in New York State Critical Care. Edna’s devotion to the Angelica Rescue Squad was incredible. She sacrificed countless hours and time helping and responding to numerous calls. She helped teach CPR, was a staple at the Angelica Fairgrounds in the First Aid station, and was known to be called at home to come help a local resident in need with medical attention. She also loved animals, and her house plants.
