After more than 53 years of unwavering service, we are honoured to celebrate the retirement of Edna Hurtz—our long-time Financial Officer, trusted colleague, and treasured member of the Power Tynan family. She will be missed by the team and clients alike.

Edna’s career is nothing short of extraordinary. Her legacy is defined not only by her expertise in financial administration but by the enduring relationships, trust, and goodwill she’s built across generations of clients and colleagues. She has been the heartbeat of our firm, embodying our values with grace, warmth, and integrity.

A Legacy Built on Excellence

Edna began her journey in bookkeeping at the age of 15, and from those early days, her hunger to learn and grow has never wavered. Over the decades, she has delivered for Power Tynan and our clients by the small things, she is meticulous in detail, tireless in her work ethic, and always grounded in her care for others.

What set Edna apart was her ability to transform financial processes into personal experiences. Her work was never just about the numbers—it was about the people behind them. She listened, she guided, and she partnered with clients in a way that made a genuine difference. She is behind our tag line Beyond the Numbers as she always put people first, no matter the challenge.

Relationships at the Core

At the heart of Edna’s career has always been people. She often speaks of her colleagues with deep appreciation—describing them as “genuine and hardworking.” In truth, those same words describe her perfectly. Edna has been more than a teammate; she has been a mentor, a steady hand, and an inspiring presence who brought calm, care, and confidence.

A New Chapter, A Lasting Impact

As Edna now steps into retirement, we mark the close of an era at Power Tynan—an era shaped by dedication, wisdom, and wholehearted service. While her daily presence will be deeply missed, the imprint she leaves behind is both profound and enduring.

Edna, thank you for the decades you’ve invested in helping others thrive. Your influence runs deep within our culture and our community, and your spirit will continue to guide us in the years ahead.

With Heartfelt Gratitude

Please join us in celebrating Edna Hurtz and wishing her every joy in the journey ahead. You’ve set a gold standard in commitment, service, and compassion—and we are all better for having worked alongside you.

From everyone at Power Tynan: thank you, Edna (Fred). May your retirement be filled with rest, adventure, and all the things that bring you happiness. You’ve more than earned it.
