Emma was a great lover of flowers and planted them in every home in which she ever lived. She was a Cub Scout dean leader, leading the pack on five-mile hikes. Walking was one of her favorite pastimes, and she continued daily walks until she broke her hip and was confined to a wheelchair.
Emma will be remembered for her generosity to others, her hard work outside the home, and for her wonderful cooking. She was an immaculate housekeeper, always deriving pleasure from her home, no matter where home was.
