A Celebration of Life will be held for Edna Nasca at 11:30 on July 11, 2026, at Daly-Leach Chapel in Hamilton, Montana.
Edna Neoma Stoumbaugh Nasca went quietly and peacefully into God’s arms in the early hours of February 18, 2026.
Edna was born February 11, 1959, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to Ray and Grace (Walker) Stoumbaugh. The family lived in Wardner, Idaho until she was about six years old and then moved to numerous places. Glenrock, Wyoming was where Edna Graduated High School before she joined the Army in 1978.
On September 19, 1981 she married Joe Nasca whom she had met when a cousin introduced them. This marriage produced two beautiful daughters Grace (Mike) Neal of Stevensville, Montana and Joleen (Philip) Wroble of Hamilton, Montana. Edna was blessed with two Wonderful Grandchildren, Selina and Holden Neal.
“I’m a Professional Volunteer” is what Edna liked telling people when they asked her what she did. From Brownie Leader when the girls were younger to First Female Commander of Bitterroot VFW Post 1430 for 12 years; Lifetime Member of Post 1507; Member of VFW 1430 Auxiliary until they closed; District 1 Commander of VFW; A Member and then the First Female Commander and Honor Guard Member of American Legion Post 91; DAV Rocky Mountain Chapter 17 where she held several offices; United Veterans Council where she held the office of Junior Vice Commander; A Member of the Montana Patriot Guard; Ravalli County Habitat for Humanity (until her body didn’t work right).
She was also a proud member of the NRA.
She had a close relationship with her brothers Don Stoumbaugh of East Missoula, Montana, Dewaine (Sunny) Stoumbaugh of West Jordan, Utah and her sister Wanda (Niels) Rasmussen of Glenrock, Wyoming. Aunt Edna will be missed dearly by her nephews and nieces Niels Rasmussen, Katrina Songer, Jamie Stoumbaugh, Tommy Stoumbaugh, and our sweet Amanda Stoumbaugh.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Grace Stoumbaugh on July 7, 1996; Father, Ray Stoumbaugh on August 4, 2002; and Niece April Stoumbaugh on October 27, 2016. And numerous family members and friends who meant the world to Edna.
