Edna G. Carlson Canavan, of Conrad House, Brevillier Village, passed away Monday, June 11, 2018, following an extended illness. She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Iva Carlson; a brother, Bill; and a daughter, Kelly Ann. Edna worked for 15 years at Hamot Hospital preparing and serving food as she continued doing that for the majority of her life for family and friends. She was a fabulous cook. She always made dinner for every holiday of the year with all the fixings. Family meant everything to her. Edna was an accomplished pair person in the sport of wrestling, having paired wrestlers for tournaments all over the United States. She loved playing bingo and consistently won. She lived her life as always giving, not on the receiving end. She was a saint on earth. Edna especially loved being with her 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Survivors include daughters, Susan Ksenich (Dick) and Sande Fitzgerald (Ron); sons, Tom Canavan (Jackie), and John Canavan (Aleisha). As Edna always said, "Goodbye for now".
