Mrs. Edith Marie (Hageman) Widner, 87, passed away on Wednesday, September 25, 2019, of Parkinson's related complications, in Arlington, Texas.

Edith was born to Arthur and Catherine Hageman of Osborne, Kansas on December 28, 1931. After high school, Edith moved to Denver with her beloved sister, Lucile. She met a handsome young airman, Raymond Widner, at a social club, and their marriage lasted 62 years.

Together, they traveled to many locations including Colorado, Utah, and Germany before settling in their Rapid City home. Edith and Ray were inseparable. They enjoyed card games with friends, played cribbage, and often entertained in their home. They square danced and became active members of the Rapid City Gun Club where Edith was every bit as good a trap shooter as Ray. Together, they taught young shooters the passion and responsibility of their sport and helped run the Club for many years. She was an avid quilter. She had a real love for music and sang in church choirs and played the organ. Edith was devoted to God, family and friends.

Edith worked at First National (then Norwest Bank), just outside Ellsworth AFB and in Rapid City. She was a 20-year devoted employee; even walking to work when a storm left snow drifted over the house. She retired as an officer and was a president of the American Womens' Business Assoc.

Edith was preceded in death by husband Ray and four siblings. Survivors include her seven children: Lauren Widner, Roger Widner (wife Debe), Steven Widner (wife Judy), Jana Clements (husband Carl), Julie Martin (husband Andrew), Brian Widner (wife Laurel), Patrick Widner (Holly Smith); one brother, Jerome Hageman of Lakewood, CO and 13 grandchildren (Kristi, Caren, Kayla, Mandy, Brandon, Deanna, Andrea, Carly, Kyle, Rachel, Sheila, Ray and Jesse) and 12 great grandchildren.

A visitation will be from 6:00pm-7:00pm, with a 7:00pm Christian Wake service with recitation of the rosary Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at Osheim and Schmidt Funeral Home. Christian funeral mass will be 11:00am Thursday, October 3 at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, with The Very Rev. Michel Mulloy presiding. Interment will be 2:00pm at the Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis. Friends may leave condolence wishes in her online guestbook at osheimschmidt.com

To my mom

Where are you angel?

Why did you fly away?

You left us here to celebrate you.

But why couldn't you stay?

And although we will miss you deeply.

Your legacy will remain.

Safely treasured in our hearts.

While you fly in God's domain.
