Liguori lived in Holiday City at Berkeley, according to her obituary.

"Edith was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother," her obituary says. "She was an incredible cook with family members and friends coming from all over the area to enjoy her homemade lasagna. Edith was also always impeccably dressed and took great pride in making sure she was always put together. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her."
