Edna H. Houston, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2025, at the age of 91, in Simpsonville, South Carolina. Born on August 31, 1933, in Kyles Ford, Tennessee, Edna's life was a tapestry of warm memories and enduring relationships. She was a cherished daughter to the late Denver and Eula Hart, a beloved sister to her late sibling Shelby Brannon, and a devoted wife to her late husband, Sam W. Houston.

Edna's nurturing spirit was the cornerstone of her family. She was a loving mother to her sons, the late Sam W. Houston Jr. and William M. Houston, who, along with his wife Carol, continues to honor her legacy. Edna's joy was multiplied through her grandchildren, Heather Johnson, Hollie Houston, Melanie Johnson, Jonathan Houston, Michael Houston, and Rhett Houston, and her eight great-grandchildren, who will carry forward her tales and traditions.

Throughout her life, Edna embraced the role of a homemaker with grace and dedication. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to own a gift store, where she spread joy through carefully selected treasures. Her professional journey was diverse, marked by various occupations that benefited from her unique touch and generous heart.

Edna's zest for life was evident in her love for bird watching, a pastime that allowed her to marvel at nature's beauty and the freedom of the skies. Travel was another of Edna's passions, as she sought to visit new places and immerse herself in new experiences, always returning with stories that captivated her family and friends.

Those who knew Edna would describe her as the epitome of love and kindness. Her optimism was infectious, and she had an uncanny ability to see the good in every situation. Edna's presence was a source of comfort and inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to cross her path.

As we bid farewell to Edna H. Houston, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of love, adventure, and unwavering positivity. Her memory will continue to be a guiding light for her family, friends, and all who were touched by her generous spirit. Edna's legacy of love and kindness will forever be etched in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
