It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Edith (Edie) Alexandria Glushek (nee Lynk). Edith was born on July 11, 1948 in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. She passed away peacefully at the age of 73, on October 14 at 7:10 pm at her home, Sunnybrook Charolais, Neepawa, Manitoba. Edith was born in Glace Bay, raised in Donkin, Nova Scotia and lived her later life mostly in Red Lake, Ontario and Neepawa, Manitoba.

She had many passions including, cooking and baking, gardening, sewing, knitting, crocheting, singing, writing poetry (published), reading, camping at snowshoe falls, travelling to visit family especially Riding Mountain, Manitoba to visit the Zechowskis, hunting, and dining and dancing with her husband. She had many careers including being a cook, a clerk, a bartender, a teller, a machine operator at a mine, an RNA, and a farmer. Her greatest accomplishment, however, was being a wife, a mother, a sister and Mrs. Auntie to many. She also had aliases. She was known as supermom to her kids because she could do anything she put her mind to, she had those eyes in the back of her head, and was a cop Citizen on Patrol. She was also known to change her name to Ralph when her kids called mom too many times.
