Front edge curls slightly. Edna's love of teaching began at Mankato State University in Mankato, MN where she was an Associate Professor in Nursing. She taught there from 1966 to 1977. Since 1990, Edna has given over 800 talks in 11 different states and Canada, on the benefits of joy and laughter for ones health. Her talks are based on a book she co-authored with Dr. Mary Huntley, "A Mirthful Spirit, Embracing Laughter for Wellness."

Her remarkable spirit helped her to survive a premature birth, the Great Depression, death-defying experiences, the Nazi regime, and war in her country.
