Edna J Muirhead

Edna J. Muirhead, 65, of Snow Shoe, passed away on Friday, March 20, 2020 at her home. Born on November 1, 1954, in Bellefonte, she was the daughter of the late Edward L. and Caroline B (Almashie) Muirhead. Edna was a 1972 graduate of Bald Eagle Area High School. After high school, she went to work at Corning Glass Works in State College. She worked there until their closing in 2004. She earned a CNA and went to work at Centre Crest Nursing Home in Bellefonte. She enjoyed her job at Centre Crest, helping the residents, especially in the Dementia Ward. And they all enjoyed having her being there, especially on the days she would give them treats.

She was a prankster and liked to see people pranked. She was very community oriented and would help with many fund-raising activities. She had a tough exterior but was a soft-hearted woman that loved helping others and being with her family. Edna is survived by her son, John E. Muirhead and his wife, Carmen, of Argyle, TX; two grandchildren that she absolutely adored, Vivienne and Ethan. Also surviving are her two sisters, Gloria J Lohr and her husband, Larry, of Bellefonte and Carol A Butterworth of State College, one brother, Steven J.
