She loved crafts, her cats, and her "girls" (her roses) and had an incredible ability to bring beauty and charm to any thing she touched. Mom made friends easily in every walk of her life and her wicked sense of humor and warm chuckle tickled everyone around her. She was a hoot! She and Buck enjoyed many years of companionship as they camped, motorcycled and summered on the Mogollon Rim. We her children feel comforted in her recent rededication to Jesus Christ prior to her death, and know that our loss is only temporary, as we will see her again in heaven. She and our Dad's godliness and Christian upbringing provided us, her children, with the foundation to be who we are today.

Edith Van Dyke Fritz, passed away on May 18, 2002 peacefully at 90 years.

All of us that were close to her now feel that she is reunited with her beloved husband, Watson Fritz who passed away in 1986. Edith is survived by eldest son Van Fritz of Carlsbad, CA; eldest daughter residing here in Phoenix, son Andy Fritz residing in Scottsdale and youngest daughter Marie Fritz who lives in Pine, Az. Edith was first and foremost a wonderful 'Mom' to us all and in addition to being a homemaker she was involved in various community services. She was until her passing a member of the Board of Visitors where her specialty was floral arrangements and table centerpieces for the annual charity ball. She was also a member of the Diggers Garden Club here in Phoenix.

Her love of the garden with its flowers, trees and birds was profound and in her appreciation for the natural beauty which she cultivated SO well, inspired everyone with the magic which is found in such simple things as a single rose. Mom truly loved her garden and it showed for she knew just what to plant and where to plant it so there would be a colorful bloom of flowers all year long. As a result, we all felt blessed to have such a 'Garden Sanctuary' to go to when we wanted to visit her. Edith was a native of Arizona, born in Miami on April 21, 1912 to Ida and Cleve Van Dyke. Cleve Van Dyke, her father, was part of Arizona history in that he laid out and built the mining town of Miami during the turn of the century.

She grew up in Miami and after attending a private high school in California went on to attend the University of Arizona where she was one of the first women to be admitted into the College of Agriculture which was the beginning of her appreciation for horticulture. Edith also loved animals and we as a family have fond memories of many wonderful pets (including several batches of puppies and kittens). She always had a dog by her side and now we feel she is with them all. As a result of her love of animals, it is felt that if you should want to donate anything at the service or in lieu of flowers please send the donation to the Arizona Humane Society at 1521 W.
