Madness Monday- Aunt Edna where are you?

Taken around 1915 in Claremont, New Hampshire.
back row; Lilly, Lucinda (Cindy), Mary, Alma, Albert
front row: Rose, Mother-Mary, Wilfred, Father-Frank holding Edna, Marion

See that adorable little girl, the one in her Dads lap with the big bow? Thats my husbands Grandfathers sister, Edna Florence Carbonneau. The tall man on the right is Albert, his Grandfather. Anyway- Edna is making my husbands sister, Janet, and I crazy!
We have her on her birth record in 1913, in a 1930 census, in an obit in 1939, in an obit in 1957 and at the bottom of a document she is thanked for her secretarial services in the 60's. But thats it. We have been told she died in 1970 in Boston, but have been unable to find any kind of obit, census record after 1930, SSDI record, nothing...not a stinking thing.
Possibilities? Maybe she was disabled. We noticed in the above picture she has different shoes and socks on each foot where everyone else's things match. Maybe she married at a late time in her life so her surname was different. Maybe she was in assisted living if she was disabled, possibly in a nursing home? We don't know, but she is seriously making us crazy!
