Edna P. Woodbury
May 31, 1911 - April 7, 2005
Edna Player Woodbury was born May 31, 1911, in Salem, N.H., and died April 7, 2005. She graduated from college and became a teacher in 1934.
She and Gordon Woodbury were married April 21, 1940, and continued in Salem where he operated a dairy farm until 1947, when they moved to the Southwest for his health.
He was later employed by El Paso Natural Gas Co. and was sent to Farmington in 1951, where they stayed for a year and then were transferred back in 1957, where they remained.
Edna was known for her kind and mild disposition. She became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses here in 1952, and following in the pattern set by Jesus, spent many hours speaking to others in the door-to-door ministry. She enjoyed sharing the good news that by means of the shed blood of Jesus Christ, his kingdom government will soon remove not only death and sickness, but also crime and wickedness, ushering in a paradise earth ruled by Jesus Christ from heaven. It was her hope to sleep in death until resurrected by him to that paradise here on earth and be reunited with her family.
