Rev. Edna Drisko

July 1, 1919 — November 11, 2016

Rev. Edna Louise Kirk Drisko was born on July 1, 1919 in Hubbard City, Texas. She left this earthly home to be with her Lord and Savior on November 11, 2016. She is being laid to rest on this day, the eve of her parents' 99th wedding anniversary, Tuesday November 15, 2016 at 10 AM at Pecan Grove Funeral Home, 3124 Robinson Dr Waco, Tx, with Minister Patrick Davidson officiating.

She was preceded in death by parents James Floyd Kirk and Edna Pearl Windham Kirk, sisters, Geneva Kirk Brooks and Karen Kirk, brothers James Curtis Kirk and Buddy Floyd Kirk, son Oran Reese "Perry" Cox, daughter Janis Cox Mathers, and grandson, James Phillip Cox.
She is survived by brother Jerald Kirk (Linda); grandson, Kelly Jack Taylor; granddaughter, Shannon Blane (Michael); great grandchildren Steven, Andrew, Ryan and Alexis Blane; and two great- great grandchildren, Landyn and Hunter and daughter-in-law, Deborah Cox, Glenn and Carla Kirk and their son, Christopher Kirk, niece Missie Childs, and many other nieces and nephews. Special friends Stephanie and Jose Garcia, Brothers and sisters in Christ, Patrick and Deborah Davison, and Chuck and Marilyn Rindos who cared for her for the past several years up until her final day. Special thanks to Carla for being by her side for the past several weeks night and day, until her passing.
Edna was raised in Waco and attended school at LaVega. She received her Bachelor's degree in Art Ed. from Sul Ross University in 1967 and received special education certification for the orthopedically handicapped from the University of Houston in 1973. She attended Odessa Jr. College, received advanced study in Art at the University of Texas and Texas Tech, and was the founder of the Central Texas Rural Artists Association. She was a draftsman, an accomplished artist, educator, realtor, and evangelist. She came to know Christ as her Lord and Savior in 1933 at the age of 14. She was a very intelligent woman who loved politics and world events, but most of all she loved the Lord. She established a ministry that ministers to those in need and gives to those less fortunate while spreading the word of God. She had a wonderful sense of humor and always had a story to tell. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. Attending the Texas Governor's inauguration last year was a major highlight of her life. She never met a stranger and was always willing to give a blessing and pray with those she encountered.

In honor of Edna, for the funeral, everyone is asked to wear a hat, just as she would have done.
