Edna May Roop

January 11, 1933 — June 18, 2025

Aberdeen

Edna May Roop, age 92, of Bel Air, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. Born in Elkton, Maryland, she was the daughter of the late Samuel Dewey May and Lucy Viola (Davis) May and the beloved wife of the late William Rufus Roop.

Edna was a dedicated and hardworking woman. From 1975 to 1993, she and her late husband owned and operated Harford Vacuum Service, a business they proudly built together. Prior to that, she worked as a sewing machine operator at both Bata Shoe Company and Bel Air Manufacturing.

She was a woman of many talents and simple joys, who loved sewing, crocheting, reading, cooking, and spending time watching cooking shows and old videos. Edna was happiest surrounded by her family and was blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her husband and parents, Edna was preceded in death by her daughter, Judith Gum; her brother, Ford May; and her sisters, Sarah Bealefield and Esther Moretz and beloved daughter in law Viola Roop.

She is survived by her loving children: Robert Roop, William Roop, Carolyn Bartosch, Nancy Harvey, and Susan Pino; 20 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and a large extended family who will cherish her memory.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her memory to a Veteran’s organization of the donor’s choice.
