Edna was born July 30, 1928, at Slidell, Texas, the twelfth child of Abner Calloway and Lura Belle (Yarbrough) McCraw. She attended Slidell School in the first grade. Her parents moved to Bolivar, Texas, where she attended school to the fifth grade. The family later moved to a farm near Bardwell, Texas, and Edna attended school there to 1941. Her parents later bought a farm at Milford, Texas, where she went to high school and graduated. She played softball, basketball, and volleyball. If there had been a girl’s football team, her father would have wanted her to play football.

After graduating high school, Edna moved to Raymondville, Texas. Her first job was at a Five and Dime Store and she later went to work at the Texas Theater as ticket and candy salesgirl. She worked her way to the jewelry store as sales lady and later was employed with First National Bank and stayed until April 1950.

Edna met her husband, Roy Crumpton, at Milford High School and they married April 15, 1950. Edna and Roy moved to Hillsboro in 1954 with their children (Larry, Sherrie, and Ralph).

Edna was a member of Central Baptist Church. She loved singing and taking trips with the Church, playing games, working crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. She also loved sewing and embroidering.
