Edith Fails
December 4, 1932 — October 29, 2022
On October 29, 2022, Edith "Edie" Fails joined her Lord and Savior in heaven.
Edie was the widow of Herman "Herk" Fails, the love of her life and husband of 50 years. She was born on December 4, 1932, in West Chester, PA, the daughter of Elizabeth and George Earnshaw. She graduated from Scott High School in Coatesville, PA.
