Edie was born September 8, 1931 in Merriman, Nebraska. The daughter of George Henry Monnier and Goldie Mae (Couser) Monnier. Growing up on the ranch, her family attended church every Sunday and she accepted the Lord as her Savior at a very young age. Edie loved to talk about Jesus, sharing His love and His blessings with anyone she came in touch with. She continued to be a living testimony of faith, until she was called home to Heaven. After high school she attended Secretary school and took a job at Mount Rushmore Air Force Base in Rapids City, SD. Pete came into the office one day and Edie was attracted to the curl in his hair, she knew he was the one. Their first date was at the drive-in. Pete leaned over to give Edie a kiss, and she was asleep. Edie proposed to Pete and they were married three months later. This July they celebrated 70 wonderful years together. Pete joined the First Baptist Church of Rapids City, South Dakota and they have been serving the Lord ever since. God blessed them with Sandi and Randy through adoption. They were the joy of Edie’s life. Her life continued to be blessed with grand- children and great- grandchildren. She was a prayer warrior and never stopped praying for family and friends. She loved to dance around in the kitchen while preparing food for her loved ones.
She is preceded in death by her parents; five brothers: Robert Monnier, Richard Monnier, Donald Monnier, Clifford Monnier and Jerry Monnier.

8 Jan 2023We found this obituary. Mom was aware of Edie’s passing before Mom passed. She looked forward to seeing Edie in heaven where they will be for all of eternity in the arms of their Lord!
