Edna Louise Hack Meyers-Emmerling was born May 18, 1938 in South, Kentucky, died June 29, 2017 at Hardin Memorial Hospital peaceful and surrounded by her family. She was 79 years young. She grew up in Grayson County before moving to Louisville then to Hardin County in 1974. She married the love of her life in January 2011. Through the years she has had several occupations. After 25 years, she retired from the Hardin County Detention Center where she was called "Miss Edna" by everybody even by inmates after they were released. Then working at the Etown Tourism Bureau, she enjoyed meeting many people. The only strangers were the people she never met. She was always ready to tell a joke, she enjoyed traveling but didn't get to as much as she would have liked. She especially enjoyed looking at the lake and feeding and watching the birds from her sunroom. She loved music and loved to dance. She loved life and like Minnie Pearl was "just so proud to be here". She dearly loved her family and Pokey and was dearly loved by them. She will be greatly missed.
