Edna was born on October 18, 1935 in Wakonda, South Dakota to William and Pearl (Smith) Dwyer. She graduated from Larrabee High School in Larrabee, IA. Edna was united in marriage on September 1, 1957 in Cherokee, IA to Jack Wolcott. The couple moved to Floyd in 1964, where Edna was very active in the community and the Grace United Methodist Church. She worked as a Library Aide for the Charles City Community School District for 40 years until retirement due to illness.
In her free time, Edna enjoyed shopping, playing cards and having coffee with the ladies in downtown Floyd. She was an avid reader and loved reading until she was no longer able. Edna and her husband did a lot of traveling together throughout their lifetime. They traveled to places such as Egypt, Singapore, France and Spain, just to name a few. Edna and her husband also did a lot of camping and motorcycle trips with their family and friends.
Above all else, Edna really loved spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was known for giving her grandkids treats, whether it was ice cream or even a little sip of pop. Edna would take her grandkids to Dairy Queen; she loved ice cream and chocolate.
