After the family moved from Hagerstown to Baltimore in 1942, Ede worked for the city in Child Welfare before moving to Philadelphia, PA, where she became an executive secretary for Proctor. Ede was very up-to-date politically and loved a good, sensible debate. Along with her sister Sara, she was a big supporter of the arts and theatre, and loved traveling, especially to Cape Cod. Ede’s biggest love in later years was watching and discussing upcoming tennis stars.
