Edith was self-supportive since she was a very young teenager when she lived in St. Elmo in a rented room from family friends, and she worked at McAllister’s Hosiery Mill in Alton Park. She married Kenneth Javin McCormick in 1940. Her first child was born one month before the start of WW2 in 1941.

Following the war, she and Kenneth returned to Chattanooga, and they were blessed with three more children.
