Edith Mae Watson passed away peacefully in her sleep Monday, May 15, 2017 at home in Fremont, California at age 95. Her loving grandson Ryan Watson was with her. Edith Mae was preceded in death by husband Robert Watson and son Richard Watson. She led a happy, fulfilling life punctuated with a quick wit and humor. She was the compassionate peacemaker who learned while growing up in a family with three brothers and a sister to value her siblings as good and sensitive human beings. Over the years her tolerance and kindness became wisdom that family members relied upon. Trips to the California seashore delighted her as she looked out at the ocean and in at the plants near the beach. She especially loved being with her family on such outings. Funeral Service is private. Memorials may be made to Fremont Hospice. SURVIVORS: son Ronald Watson and his wife Metaxia, her sister Betty Jo Dalgas, grandsons Sean Watson wife Jennifer and Ryan Watson, grand daughters Julie Watson and husband David Dunakin, Molly Watson Forbes, and Nancy Watson and husband John Metzger. She also leaves behind four great grandchildren and one great-great-grand child.
