Edith Mary Karrmann

Just five months short of her 90th birthday. Edie Karrmann of Washington, NH, passed away February 3, 2026, at the Concord Hospital surrounded by family.

A longtime resident of Washington, she loved the outdoor life, living off grid for many years, raising her own food, canning, and preserving what she grew in her gardens. She and her husband, Ed, took pride in their secluded log home, which they loved to share with friends and family, by hosting an annual pig roast since 1979.

Her greatest joy was working in her flower gardens that surrounded her home. In the winter months, she worked on stained glass which she gave to friends and family. Many of her glass works were donated to support the animal shelter in Claremont, New Hampshire. Some of her work can be seen at "David's House" at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, New Hampshire, where families are able to stay while undergoing cancer treatment.

Getting together later in life, she married the love of her life, Ed Karrmann. Ed spent a lifelong career in the wire and cable industry, developing and refining micro miniature conductors for the aerospace and medical field applications. Their home in the woods was his escape from his extremely stressful occupation.

Having four of her own, and five stepchildren, 16 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren, it made for very large get-togethers.

Edie was predeceased by her husband Edward, oldest son Rick of Pine Bush NY, sister Joyce Forgue of Wallingford Ct., brothers Walter Peck, longtime resident and school bus driver in Washington, Robert Peck (Uncle Bob as everyone knew him and his "pretty car "as she called it), and Richard Peck, Who survived the bombings of Pearl Harbor.

She will be dearly missed by all of her friends and family.

Her long time wish for a memorial was a large party with a country band which will be held in September.

In lieu of flowers we will be making a donation to her favorite animal shelter.
