Doris brightened the room when she entered with her matching choice of clothing. Her color of the day was always tasteful and attractive. She intentionally matched her necklace, earrings and bracelet watch to her outfit right down to her matching colored shoes and socks.

Heaven is sure to take note when her sweet smile enters. Doris Ann (Hale) Edberg was born on August 8, 1937. She attended school in Le Sueur and graduated with the class of 1955. She caught Bruce Edberg’s eye while attending a youth event at the Redeemer church on Hwy 19, Henderson, MN. Doris worked in bookkeeping for Christianson Appliance in Le Sueur. This afforded her, her love for shoes, and her love to buy gifts for others. Bruce talked her into a double date and the personalities melded into the perfect pair. They married in June of 1957.

They made their home in Belle Plaine in the basement home built on a portion of the Frankland Farm on county road 64. Together they raised their 4 children in Belle Plaine on their hobby farm.
