Edna Mae Blunk was born on March 14, 1929 to Earl and Alice Lawver of Kingfisher County, Oklahoma. She went to be with the Lord on March 8, 2014 at the age of 84. She is survived by her husband Glenn, son Mike of Oklahoma City, son Pat of Fort Wayne, Indiana, brother Ivan of Seattle, Washington, sister Earlene of Edmond, granddaughter Bridget and great granddaughter Reagan of Corpus Christi, Texas. Edna was a Vice President with Bank of America’s Correspondent division and its predecessor institutions for more than 25 years, starting her career with First National Bank and Trust Company, of Oklahoma City in 1973. She was responsible for her bank’s sponsorship at the many Oklahoma Banker’s Association functions, conventions and golf tournaments. Edna hosted many clients in the banks suite at Remington Park during the racing seasons. She was a member of Financial Women International, served as a group and state president and a national director overseeing five states. She was also a member of the League of Women Voters of Oklahoma City and served as treasurer of the Oklahoma Women’s Caucus Group. She was a member of the Governor’s Council on Economic Development of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Good-Will Tour Committee, Toastmasters Club and the Christian Women’s Club of Oklahoma City. Edna served as treasurer of her local neighborhood association, was a docent at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and until her health failed, was an active member of the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, of Edmond, Oklahoma. Edna loved to travel. She toured all through Europe and the Mediterranean and jokingly bragged that she had visited every state in the union except Alaska. Edna graduated from Omega High School in 1947, attended Hill’s Business University, Southwestern State University and Rose State College. Edna made the generous gift of donating her body to science for medical research, innovation and education through United Tissue Network, a non-profit medical technology and education focused entity.
