Edna Herr (nee Stoebner) was born on Tuesday, May 11, 1913 in Bon Homme County near Avon, South Dakota to Jacob and Friedericka (Kaul) Stoebner.  She died on Friday, October 31, 2008 at the Good Samaritan Society of Tripp at the age of 95 years, 5 months, and 20 days. She was baptized by Rev. Alfred Funck and confirmed in the Reformed faith on June 27, 1927 by Rev. D.J. Krieger. She attended Dewald School, District 82 through the 7th grade. Edna was united in marriage to Otto Herr on January 13, 1931 at Tripp. They farmed northeast of Tripp until the fall of 1970 when they retired and moved to Tripp.
Edna was an active member in the Friedens Reformed Ladies Aid for many years until her health began to fail. She was a seamstress and enjoyed sewing for others. She also crocheted, quilted and made craft items. In retirement, she did housekeeping for Dr. Eric and Hannele Mueller. Edna never complained and was always able to provide for her family through the tough times. She enjoyed flowers and plants and cared for the lawn as long as she was able. In September of 2001, she moved to the Eastgate Apartments in Tripp. In March of 2004, she moved to the Tripp Good Samaritan Nursing Center.
