Edith is the great-grandmother of Lisa, Bart, and Maggie. She was a jazz musician.
History[edit]
When Lisa used some tappers that she was given for therapy, she dreamed that she was back in the 1920s, where she inhabited Edith's body. Edith was at the Little Moose Club, where the jazz band was without their saxophone player as he had eaten sugar, which he was allergic to. The band leader asked Lisa, calling her Edith, if she would join because he thought she also played saxophone. Lisa agreed to join in and played the saxophone on stage. During the show, Monty B joined the performance, which shocked Lisa. After the performance, Lisa spoke to Monty about the Springfield Mini Moose population outside the club. He and Lisa then marked the fresh cement outside the club.
When Lisa was outside Moe's Tavern, she saw the same markings that she and Monty had made in the dream and realized that it had actually happened and she had actually traveled back in time. She mentioned this to Homer and Marge, but they dismissed it as Lisa having seen a picture of her great-grandmother Edith and dreaming about her. Lisa didn't accept this and went to Professor Frink to tell him about it, and Frink and Lisa concluded that they had to save the Springfield Mini Moose from extinction. Lisa then used the tappers again and took over Edith's body once more, where she went to see Monty B about saving the Mini Moose. Monty agreed to help her, and so he and Lisa as Edith performed "The Mini Moose" at the Little Moose Club, which convinced the townspeople to save the Mini Moose.
Lisa woke up again in the present but found that the Mini Moose had actually gone extinct two years earlier than they were supposed to. Eventually, Lisa went back in time once more to try and fix things but accidentally caused the Mini Moose to go on a rampage in Monty's Spilotantha Daphne orchid greenhouse, destroying all the flowers. Monty became angry at this and decided to kill all the moose in revenge. In the present, Lisa went to Mr. Burns to tell him what she knew. She then used the tappers once more to try and get Monty to change his mind about becoming evil, but in the present, Burns used the tappers to take control of his younger self. Just as Lisa was about to convince Monty to stop going down the path of evil, Homer woke Lisa up in the present.
Back outside Moe's, Lisa noticed that Monty had written a note to Edith in the cement, telling her he had left her something in the basement of the Little Moose Club. Lisa went to the basement and found that Monty had left some seeds for the Spilotantha Daphne orchids, as well as a valuable lamp to sell for the money to open a park, which had gotten broken. However, he had packaged the lamp in baseball cards, which turned out to be pretty valuable. Lisa then opened up a park filled with the flowers.
