With her attention to detail, Emma spent many years employed as a seamstress for General Motors. Her pleasurable past-times included reading, gardening, cooking, baking and watching the Cleveland Indians. During their 72 years of marriage, Emma and Patsy watched their family grow, starting with a daughter and son, then 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Emma was devoted to her family and delighted in spending time with them and sharing their lives. Blessed with a generous and social personality, hosting family and friends for holidays and other celebratory occasions throughout the years brought her special joy. On January 12, 2025, Emma passed away leaving her family to miss her funny sense of humor and never-ending love.
