EDNA C. SCHLISKA

Edna C. Schliska, age 78, of Saginaw, Mich., formerly of Alpena, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Saginaw, Mich.

On June 6, 1940, weighing only one and half pounds Edna was born to the late William A. and Edna (Prevo) Schliska in Alpena, Mich. As a premature baby, she was sent home in a shoebox and kept warm by an old cook stove before incubators were developed. She was not expected to live up to three years old, let alone having a loving life up to the age of 78. Luckily love of the family kept Edna strong, she was her mother’s miracle baby. She lived many years in Detroit, Mich., moving to Saginaw, Mich., over 10 years ago. Later in life she became a member of St. Francis of Assi of Saginaw. A special thank you to the Community Village and the Great Lakes Pace Organization for their loving care.

Edna is survived by her brother, Clyde (Anne) Schliska of Perry, Mich.; one sister-in-law, Rosalie Schliska of Saginaw, Mich.; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by two sisters Gloria (Mrs. Robert Glenn) and Marie (Mrs. Raymond Stepanski); two brothers, William (Florence) Schliska and Edward Schliska.

Family and friends will gather for visitation at Karpus-Hunter Funeral Home on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018 from 2-8 p.m. Visitation will continue on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018, at Karpus Hunter Funeral Home from 10 a.m. until the funeral service begins at 11 a.m. with Fr. Scott Lawler officiating.
