Edna was raised in Glens Falls, N.Y., graduating from Glens Falls High School
in 1945. She received a B.S. degree in English and Theatre Education from Syracuse
University in 1949 and taught for a year in Gouverneur, N.Y. In 1950 she married
Earl Ackley and moved to Syracuse, N.Y., where they began their family and she
worked as a substitute teacher. In 1957, Edna and Earl moved to Lynchburg where
she continued to substitute teach while earning her Master of Arts in Teaching
from Lynchburg College in 1969. She then began a 17-year career teaching in the
Lynchburg Public Schools, first at Robert S. Payne Elementary School and then

Club she revived, produced and directed the Miss Lynchburg Pageant for a number
of years. She was a member of Reach to Recovery for breast cancer patients and
the Smith Mountain Lake Fire Belles volunteer auxiliary. Her love of reading
and teaching led her to be a volunteer at the Moneta and Bedford Public Libraries,
a member of the Board of Directors of the Indiantown Public Library, and a volunteer
teacher of English as a Second Language at Hope Rural School in Indiantown.
