Edna Fay “Eddie” Sinkey, 60, of Belle Fourche formerly of Midland, passed away April 30 at Human Services Center in Yankton after a lengthy battle with dementia.
She was born December 24, 1960 in Kadoka to Dell and Carol (McFarland) Struble.  She was the third of seven children.  As a young girl she and her family lived in Kadoka, Hot Springs, Igloo, Edgemont, Custer and Belle Fourche. Most of her high school years were spent in Custer and she graduated from Belle Fourche in 1979.
On November 30, 1983 she married Dennis Sinkey of Midland. To this union three children were born, Kendra, Drew and Britney.  She lived in Midland until 2007 when she moved to Kadoka.  In 2012 she moved back to Belle Fourche where she resided until being moved to Yankton in 2015.
She was a longtime member of Midland Area EMS and she greatly enjoyed being a part of this team and helping people.  She took part in many Midland plays and enjoyed the friendships built from being a part of the Midland Drama Club.  She spent many years as a part of the Midland Booster Club and PTA.  She held a variety of different jobs throughout her life but seemed to enjoy working at 1880 Town the most.
She enjoyed music, dancing, reading, playing cards, cross stitching and gardening.  She enjoyed meeting new people and building friendships.  She was mischievous and always enjoyed a good prank followed by lots of laughter.  She was thrilled to be a grandma and insisted that her grandchildren would call her “Granny Ed”.
