Death? 1965 (?)

Edith was christened Edith E. Ekman, but I do not know what the second E stood for. She was one of a pair of twins (see Emma Ekman (1) for her twin). Both she and her sister trained as nurses. Edith married widower Charles N. Sisterman about 1926 and took over his family of three children. She had two further children of her own. She converted to Catholicism as her husband was Roman Catholic.
