Edna Mae Hinton (Truelove), age 86, passed away of heart failure
(though if you asked Edna, she'd say she died of blindness) on Oct.
22, 2020, in Lake Havasu City.

Edna Mae was born to parents Earl and Pearletta (Kidwell) Truelove on
Sept. 17, 1934 in Los Angeles. Edna remained in Los Angeles while
starting her own family, residing with her three children until moving
to Lake Havasu City in 1968.

Edna Mae was an active member of the community and was known by
everyone. Her dazzling smile and contagious laugh always filled the
room. Whether she was cooking chili, serving you dinner at the
Frigate, or taking your order at the Food City Deli, you were always
greeted with her infamous smile. Edna Mae was proud to be an original
pioneer of Lake Havasu City and a founding member of the Chili
Society. In 1992, she was honored for her previous 18 years of
contribution to the organization and production of the Annual Lower
Colorado River Chili Cook-off.

Edna Mae is survived by her husband of 27 years, Gene Prikasky, of
Lake Havasu City; son, Don Ade, of Lake Havasu City; son and daughter
in-law, David and Toni (Trembley) Ade, of Lake Havasu City; daughter,
Cheri (Ade) Olivo, of Houston; granddaughters; Jinnie (Ade) Chieppo,
of Loveland, Colorado; Tanya (Ade) Rowe, of Greeley, Colorado; Mandy
(Ade) Ditterline, of Las Vegas; Shawna Ade, of Lake Havasu City; and
Jordan Olivo, of New Caney, Texas; Grandson, Kyle Olivo, of Houston;
brother and sister in-law, Robert "Bob" and Dee Truelove, of Hesperia,
California; sister, Mary Truelove, of Lake Havasu City; and numerous
great-grandchildren.

Edna Mae was predeceased by her brother, William Trulove (1964);
brother, Joe Truelove (2004); sister Shirley Truelove (2009); and her
best friend and true other half, local entertainer, Sonny Hurley
(2012).

A memorial service and celebration of life is scheduled for Nov. 14,
2020 at noon at Jack Hardie Park on 2470 Baron Dr, Lake Havasu City,
AZ 86403.

Edna Mae, you will be greatly missed!
