Edith May Babcock was an adventurous, independent minded woman, raised in the small West Texas town of Sonora in 1926. She chronicled and journaled her life story; childhood, falling in love and marrying, living abroad, and raising her young family in 1950’s South Africa and 1960’s South America, then suddenly becoming a single woman in the early 1970’s. She rejoined the workforce, believed in women’s rights, ran marathons, and respected people of all races from every part of the world. Always ready for the next globe-trotting experience, even into her nineties, her motto was, “I’ll go anywhere, anytime!” Her story will be an inspiration, for she was stronger than most people knew.
