Edith (Wenz) was born to Richard and Emma (Straub) Wenz on March 23, 1947, in Baker, MT. Richard was widowed and remarried to Lydia Wenz on June 15, 1952.

Edith achieved a Bachelors of Nursing from Montana State University in Bozeman and Billings, MT. Her career in nursing was quite diverse. She worked in various areas including the ICU, Emergency Room, Recovery Room, and Dialysis.

Edith was married to Karl Stein on October 7, 1978 in Plevna, MT. They resided in Billings and Shepherd, MT. Her daughter Heather was born December 26, 1979. Edith enjoyed playing piano for pleasure and for many church functions, singing in the church choir, and volunteering at the hospital. Due to Edith's medical background and familiarity with hospital staff, she was a special asset as a hospital volunteer.

She was a member of Faith Chapel in Billings, MT for many years. Upon moving to IA, she became a member of Ankeny Baptist Church. Edith's commitment to her faith was evident in her daily life and she donated generously to support faith ministries. Edith's strength of character allowed her to persevere through many of life's adversities and she will be greatly missed. For many years she lived in Billings, MT, but had recently relocated to IA to be closer to family. Edith passed away on Tuesday, September 11, 2012, at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, IA.
