Edith Elizabeth Lupercio Lopez was born on July 15, 2004, to Ruben Lupercio Lopez and Rosalva Hernandez Castaneda. She attended Sioux Center Community Schools.

Edith emitted quiet joy and radiated beauty from the inside out. She had a special way of intensely loving and connecting with people. Her laugh, smile, and sassy expressions will be missed. 

She loved a lot of things— music, makeup, jewelry, doing her own nails, and spending time with family and friends. She adored kids, especially her nieces and nephew, whom she loved with all her heart. More importantly, Edith loved Jesus and had recently spent a lot of time in her bible and chatting with her sister Marisol about faith.

Edith dreamed of becoming a professional nail technician and would dream up ideas of opening a beauty business in the future, where Edith would primarily focus on nails and make-up and her sister in other areas. 

Edith is survived by her father, Ruben Lupercio Lopez and mother, Rosalva Hernandez Castaneda and special friend Nicolas Garcia. Edith loved and cherished her siblings and adored spending time with her nieces and nephew. She will be deeply missed by Brother, Saul Rodriguez Hernandez and nephew, Xion Rodriguez. As well as older sister Marisol Rodriguez Hernandez and nieces Eliana Lopez Pichardo and Grecia Rodriguez Rivera (Affectionately known as the Gremlins by Edith). And her Grandma Teresa Castaneda Lozano in Mexico. In addition to her immediate family, Edith is survived by several aunts, uncle, Rene Hernandez Castaneda and cousins. 

Edith was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Ciro Hernandez Bueno, paternal grandmother, Eufrasia Lopez Guiterrez, and her aunt, Angelica Hernandez Castaneda 

While Edith's life seems too short, those who were touched by her gentle smile and quiet demeanor will remember the quiet joy she radiated. Her time on Earth was shorter than anticipated, but the impact she made on her family and friends during that time far exceeds the number of days she spent on Earth before joining her savior, Jesus in Heaven. Edith understood the tremendous gift of God’s grace and found peace in 2 Corinthians 12:9 - My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Edith nació el 15 de julio de 2004. Sus padres son Rubén Lupercio López y Rosalva Hernández Castañeda. Ella asistió al Sioux Center Community Schools.

Edith emitía alegría tranquila e irradiaba belleza de adentro hacia afuera. Ella tenía una manera especial de amar intensamente y conectar con la gente. Su risa, sonrisa, y expresiones serán extrañadas. 

Le encantaban muchas cosas: la música, el maquillaje, las joyas, hacerse ella misma las uñas y pasar tiempo con la familia y los amigos. Adoraba a los niños, especialmente a sus sobrinas y sobrino, a los que quería con todo su corazón. Más importante aún, Edith amaba a Jesús y recientemente había pasado mucho tiempo en su biblia y charlando con su hermana Marisol sobre la fe.

Edith soñaba con convertirse en una técnica de uñas profesional y hablaba de ideas para abrir un negocio de belleza en el futuro con su hermana, donde Edith se centraría principalmente en las uñas y el maquillaje y su hermana en otras áreas. 

Edith es sobrevivida por su padre, Ruben Lupercio Lopez y madre, Rosalva Hernandez Castaneda, y amigo especial, Nicolas Garcia Barranco. Edith amaba y apreciaba a sus hermanos y adoraba pasar tiempo con sus sobrinas y sobrino. Ella será profundamente extrañada por su hermano mayor, Saúl Rodríguez Hernández y su sobrino, Xion Rodríguez. Así como la hermana mayor, Marisol Rodríguez Hernández y sobrinas Eliana López Pichardo y Grecia Rodríguez Rivera (Cariñosamente conocidas como las Gremlins por Edith). Abuela Teresa Castañeda Lozano en México..... Además de su familia inmediata, Edith es sobrevivida por varias tías, tío, René Hernández Castañeda, y primos.

Edith fue precedida en la muerte por su abuelo materno, Ciro Hernández Bueno, abuela paterna, Eufrasia Lopez Guiterrez, y su tía, Angélica Hernández Castañeda. 

Aunque la vida de Edith parece demasiado corta, aquellos que se sintieron conmovidos por su amable sonrisa y su tranquila conducta recordarán la serena alegría que irradiaba. Su tiempo en la tierra fue más corto de lo previsto, pero el impacto que hizo en su familia y amigos durante ese tiempo supera con creces el número de días que pasó en la tierra antes de reunirse con su salvador, Jesús en el Cielo. Edith comprendió el tremendo don de la gracia de Dios y encontró la paz en 2 Corintios 12:9 - Te basta mi gracia, porque mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad.
