Later Years
Edna Guy married Walter McCully on May 21, 1939, and later moved with him to Enfield, New Hampshire. By this time she had given up her dance career, in part due to the Great Depression. She suffered a series of heart attacks in the mid-1940s. By the 1960s she was again living in New York, in the city of Hudson. Edna Guy died in 1982 in Fort Wayne, Texas, where she had been living for the previous eight years.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
