Edna Ellen Queen, 87, of Washington Court House, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2026, following an extended illness.
Born on January 12, 1939, in Gallia County, Ohio, Edna was a woman who found joy in life’s quiet and meaningful pleasures. She enjoyed reading fiction, especially mystery stories, and took pride in working around her yard and tending to her flowers. She also enjoyed watching the many different birds who visited her home and spending time working crossword puzzles. These simple joys reflected a thoughtful spirit and an appreciation for beauty, curiosity, and peaceful moments.
Edna will be remembered most lovingly by her family. She is survived by her daughters, Diane (John) Van Dyke and Angie Estle (Jim Steel), and by her grandchildren, Stephanie (Jared) Hoop, Amanda Van Dyke (Chris Reichley), Cassie (Schyler) Jester, Aaron Estle, and Kayla (Tyler) Brill. She also leaves behind her great-grandchildren, Kayson Hoop, Noah Hoop, Hudson Hoop, Beau Jester, Rylee Brill, Myles Brill, and Aaron Estle. In addition, Hunter Hoop and Trey Hoop survive her as step-grandchildren. Edna also leaves many nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Anna (Patterson) Queen, and by her brothers, Charles Queen, Harold Queen, Jr., Don Queen, Homer Queen, and Glen Wamsley.
Edna’s life was marked by the comfort she found in home, family, and the everyday things she loved. She will be remembered with affection by those who knew her and will be deeply missed by her family and all who shared in her life.
She will be laid to rest with her parents in the Washington Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
