Emma worked in a war factory in Cleveland, Ohio, during World War II and then worked at GE for 35 years before retiring. She was a member of St. Mary’s Parish. She enjoyed watching the movies “Casablanca” and “My Fair Lady” and was a fan of Lawrence Welk. She religiously watched “Wheel of Fortune.” She loved visiting her friends at the YMCA, YWCA, and the Vermilion County Courthouse.
