Her son Michael Shain described the photo as having captured "an epic moment in American history, one that inspired patriotism, unity, joy and a spontaneous national pride in victoriously ending the war."

Edith Shain is also survived by son Justin Decker, who said, "my mom was always willing take on new challenges and caring for the World War II veterans energized her to take another chance to make a difference." She also leaves behind six grand children and eight great grandchildren.
