  • Notes 
    • Edna was born on June 23, 1928 in Newton, the fourth of ten children to John C. Gallant and Lena Shreenan Gallant. She was two years old when her parents moved to Kinkora and went to school in this village. Following completion of school she worked at home to assist her parents with the home and the care of her Grandmother who died in 1952.

      In 1953 Edna married Gerald Leard from Borden, PE. Following their marriage they moved to Toronto where they became employed as caretakers of an apartment building. After a few years they returned to live in Borden where Gerald worked with Marine Atlantic and Edna cleaned houses.

      When Gerald retired from Marine Atlantic they moved to Summerside and Edna worked for the Sisters of Notre Dame. Gerald’s health began to fail and Edna cared for him until his death in 1983. Following his death she moved to Senior Citizens Housing in Summerside in 1988.

      In the year 2000 her health began to fail and she died on November 4, 2004.
