She was born in Laurel, Mississippi to parents Ollie and Eula Mae Newcomb on July 29, 1927. Edna married Peter Lomagistro in 1946 and they lived much of their married life in New York. Together they raised three children and were active within their community and enjoyed happy times with friends. In 1981 Peter and Edna moved to Coral Springs, Florida where they spent their retirement years. They were members of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Coral Springs as well as the church Senior Group. Edna also was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and H2U – Health To You, a local community group affiliated with University Community Hospital in Tamarac, Florida. Edna will be remembered as a true “Southern Girl” and a skilled cook, especially with Italian cuisine. She loved to shop and always looked her best. In June 2021, Edna moved to The Grove at Canopy in Tallahassee. She lived independently there and was just beginning to meet new friends before becoming ill.
