KENT --
EDITH H. (EDIE) Of Corrales and Albuquerque, New Mexico, died Friday evening, October 28, 2011, at the age of 86, of natural, age-related causes. Edie was born in Evanston, Illinois (just north of Chicago) on December 14, 1924. Edie was the youngest of four children born to Wiley E. Hosier and Merle Deane Hosier. She was predeceased by her eldest sister Julia Hosier(who died in infancy); her brother, William A. Hosier, of Massachusetts (who died in 1999); her sister and close confidant, Julie Deane Jones, of North Carolina (who died in 2009). She was also predeceased by her brother-in-law, John M. Hoar, of Concord New Hampshire (who died in 2010). Edie graduated with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1946. She worked as a hospital lab technologist at St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago for three years until 1949, and married Richard B. (Dick) Kent, who had been her college sweetheart, on June 2, 1949 at the home of her parents in Terre Haute, Indiana. Edie and Dick lived for a short time thereafter in Dayton, Ohio, where Edie worked in the laboratory at Memorial Hospital. Edie and Dick were both free spirits in their time, and they left the Midwest in 1950 for adventure and a fresh start in the Land of Enchantment. They lived in Albuquerque for a year and settled in Corrales in 1951, where they built an adobe home with their own hands and lived together and raised a family for 37 years until Dick's death in 1988, and where Edie lived independently for 21 more years. Edie worked as a medical lab technologist at the old Santa Fe Railway Hospital in Albuquerque after her arrival in New Mexico and until she was ready to raise a family. Edie gave life to three sons, Brian Kent (Ann Mahaffey), Jason Kent (Denise Bissell), and Guy Kent (Vicki Ellison Kent), and four grandsons, Brady Kent, Drew Kent, Carson Kent and Spencer Kent. She is also survived by much loved nieces and nephews from Massachusetts, North Carolina and New Hampshire. Edie was an at-home wife and mother after her first child was born and until her children were all in school. She then returned to work as a medical lab technologist for several doctors' offices in Albuquerque, with her lengthiest time being spent at the offices of Drs. Hanold, Beeson and Seibert. At about the time all her children had graduated from high school, Edie retired as a lab technologist and instead put those same skills to work as the home-dialysis (kidney machine) technologist and care giver for her husband Dick, who needed to go on dialysis in 1973 due to end stage renal failure. Edie kept Dick alive on hemo-dialysis for 15 years, and also worked as an office assistant in Dick's photography business for most of those years until she and Dick retired in 1985. In addition, Edie volunteered for many years at the Corrales Community Library and the First Unitarian Church in Albuquerque. She was a member of the First Unitarian Church for almost 50 years. Edie lived the last year of her life in the tender care of Carmen and Curtis Hudson of Touched by a White Dove Assisted Care in Albuquerque. Edie was a wonderful, sweet person. She was exceptionally kind, even to the crawly creatures that often invaded her Corrales home. She gave her love freely to family, friends, and even to strangers. She endured much, including living with severe rheumatoid arthritis for more than thirty years. She had a keen mind and an easy homespun sense of humor. She possessed a forceful will and strong moral convictions, but she was non-judgmental and forgave easily. She taught by example and lived with gratitude, acceptance and grace. Edie was one of a kind. There will be a memorial service for Edie conducted at the First Unitarian Church, 3701 Carlisle Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87110, commencing at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 26, 2011 (the Saturday after Thanksgiving), with Christine Robinson officiating. Those so inclined may make a donation in Edie's name to the Friends of the Corrales Library (FOCL), PO Box 1586, Corrales, New Mexico 87048, or to any favorite charity, in lieu of flowers. To all who knew her, Edie would want to say thank you for your friendship.
