Edna Ruth Sager, age 93, passed away Wednesday, November 2, 2011, at her granddaughter’s home in Gillette, Wyoming. At her request cremation has taken place.

Edna Sager was born June 30, 1918, in Sundance, Wyoming, the daughter of Benjamin H and Mae E (Banks) Justice. She attended school and graduated from Sundance High School.

In October 2011, when Edna’s health was failing she moved to her granddaughter’s home in Gillette to be near family, it proved to be a very rewarding time for all involved.
