Resident Spotlight: Edie Boller
Legace Village of Murrells Inlet resident Edie Boller was born on October 3, 1940, in Laconia, New Hampshire, to Robert and Zaida Mack. The youngest of two children, Edie grew up surrounded by breathtaking mountains and sparkling lakes—a setting she still describes as one of the most beautiful places you could ever imagine. Her childhood was filled with outdoor adventure, seasonal fun, and unforgettable memories.
One of Edie’s fondest memories comes from her time as a camp counselor at just 13 years old. She especially loved taking the children on hikes, though she laughs when recalling the one time she had to carry a child up the mountain after they refused to take another step. Summers were spent swimming—where she even learned from Olympic swimmer Irwin Smith—while winters were filled with skiing alongside family and friends. Growing up, Edie’s family loved to travel, sparking a lifelong love of exploration.
After graduating from Laconia High School in 1958, Edie attended junior college, where she studied secretarial studies. Soon after, she moved to Washington, D.C., and began working for the government as a secretary stenographer in top-secret departments. Edie took great pride in her work and truly loved her career. While living in D.C., she met the father of her children on a blind date at the age of 20. They married soon after and shared 27 years together.
Edie is the proud mother of three children—Lawrence Jr., Lorilee, and Leanna—whom she lovingly describes as miracles and the most important accomplishment of her life. Becoming a mother was always her dream, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to raising her children. Today, she is also a devoted grandmother to seven grandchildren, whom she absolutely adores.
Known for her warm smile, friendly nature, and contagious happiness, Edie brings joy wherever she goes. Our community at Legacy Village of Murrells Inlet is truly lucky to have her. If you ever need a laugh or a little extra sunshine in your day, just stop by and say hello to Edie—you’ll be glad you did.
