Emma was a woman of remarkable strength and determination. There was no job too hard for her to accomplish, no challenge so difficult that she could not meet it, and no act of service rendered without compassion and generosity. The careful and precise way that she kept her property and conducted her personal affairs testified to a life of discipline, order, and integrity.Emma was a passionate gardener and outdoors woman. She fished, camped, hunted, and boated. She was a fine golfer and an accomplished seamstress and quilter. She was also skilled in construction and worked side by side with her husband as they built their own home. Emma was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She considered the ten years that she worked in the Jordan River Temple to be the greatest privilege of her ninety years. Emma was loved by her family and had many dear friends and neighbors with whom she shared her life. She will especially miss the visits and kindness of her young friends, Chase and Riley.
