She attended the Larsen School, a one room school house, for Elementary and later graduated from Marcus High School. After graduation, she worked at Fonk's five and dime in Colville, WA. Her husband to be, Thomas Cain, would buy a candy bar from her every day. Their short courtship was all of 6 weeks they married on September 7, 1945. Their "Love at first sight" lasted 61 years until his death in 2007 all the while residing in Spokane, WA. Edith was a homemaker, seamstress and wonderful cook and Baker.
