Edith Mutch 
Feb. 05, 1923 - Dec. 14, 2005 

On Wednesday, December 14, 2005 at 9:00 p.m., the long and varied life of 
Edith Mutch ended after a long fight with cancer. From her childhood in a 
small village in Wales, to her service with the Path Finders in the Royal Air 
Force during World War II, to marrying an American Airman and crossing the 
Atlantic with her first child as a war bride to live in Cambridge, 
Massachusetts. And later following Route 66 to cross the breadth of this 
country with her husband and two small children in the back seat of a 1951 
Studebaker, to arrive here in Bakersfield, she saw and experienced much of 
this world. Devoted daughter to a blind father, WAAF in service to her country 
of birth, loving wife and mother, dedicated nurse, humane volunteer and 
finally political activist, in the end this immigrant from a distant land 
loved and cherished the ideals of her adopted country more than many who were 
born here. Edith was a member of the Daughters of the British Empire, Womens 
Auxiliary and Veterans of Foreign Wars. She will be deeply missed by her 
family and many friends. Edith is survived by her husband William Mutch of 
Bakersfield; daughter Janet Nason and husband Elwin; grandson Keith Nason all 
of Massachusetts and sister Joyce Saunders of England. She was preceded in 
death by her brother Frank Gregory. Services will be held at Greenlawn 
Memorial Chapel, 3700 River Blvd., Tuesday, December 20, at 1:30 p. m. with 
private interment. Visitation begins Monday, 3:00 - 9:00 p.m.
