Edi was born February 14, 1961 in Columbus, OH, the daughter of Arthur and Rolla (Dille) Sage. She grew up in Adrian, MO and spent her early adult years traveling with her spouse and children in the military. She became a CNA in the early 1990’s where she cared for the elderly in nursing homes. She was known as the singing nurse.
Edi raised four children; two boys and two girls. Her passion was her grandchildren. She would say grandkids make motherhood worth the trouble. All her kids would say she was their best friend. On September 21, 2009, Edi married her frog prince and lived in her magical Chesterfield. She enjoyed painting various objects and writing stories of her beloved Chesterfield and its Troll King.
If you knew Edi, you knew compassion, acceptance, magic and love. She was a beautiful soul who cherished the Lord. She leaves behind her husband, Chester, of the home; two sons, Bear McCulley, Independence, MO and Matthew McCulley, Poplar Bluff, MO; three daughters, Maggi LaFollette (Ricky), Garden City, MO, Lani Vaughn (Kevin), Poplar Bluff, MO, and Tammy Fields, Shell City, MO; one brother, Harold Sage, Appleton City, MO; two sisters, Beth Argabright, Archie, MO and Rachel Gregory, Adrian, MO; 23 grandchildren; and many life-long friends.
