Edna, the oldest of five children, was born on January 1, 1915, to Oscar and Josephine (Moldrem) Roti, on a farm near Howard, SD. She received her education in a country school near Howard. On January 31, 1934, she married Howard Reed at Madison, SD. They farmed in the Carthage, SD, area and later near Verndale, MN, before moving to Brookings in 1952. Edna was a full time homemaker. After their three children were grown, she was employed as a custodian at the Brookings Public Schools for several years, where her attention to detail was greatly appreciated.
