Edna Alice Griewank, 93, Argos, passed away with family by her side at 7 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2016 at the Life Care Center in Rochester where she has made her home since 2003.

Edna was born Aug. 12, 1923 in Grimsby, England, the daughter of Fredrick Stephen and Elizabeth (Grayson) Potter. Her father served as Head Customs Officer in England where Edna attended private schools and then became a beautician. She arrived in the New York Harbor aboard the Queen Elizabeth on Dec. 17, 1947.

On Aug. 8, 1945, she married Albert Eugene “Bud” Griewank, in a ceremony that took place in Cleethorpes, England. He preceded her in death on April 15, 2000.

The couple enjoyed traveling extensively, yet Edna only returned home to England just once. She prided herself in the art of crafting and enjoyed crocheting and knitting items for others.

Edna is survived by her daughter, Cheryl Ann Harley, Argos; and son, Roy S. (Susan) Griewank, Peru; grandchildren: Shawn L. (Michele) Harley, Argos; Heather L. (Fred) Ewing, Rochester; and Brandon (Tiffany) Griewank, Winamac; great grandchildren, Chelsea N. Ewing, Blake R. Ewing, Andrew L. Harley, Dylan Griewank, Brandon Griewank Jr., Mason Griewank and Branson Griewank along with a step-granddaughter Cara Kaszas.

She was preceded in death by her husband.

A graveside service to lay the couple to rest together again will be held in the Spring of 2017 at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Argos.

Memorial contributions can be made to Center for Hospice Care, 112 S. Center St., Plymouth, IN 46563.
