She was predeceased by her parents and all her siblings. 

Emma was born on March 8, 1928 in Douglas Parish, York County, New Brunswick. This is where she was raised and married until moving to Toronto with her daughter Eva in 1954.  After taking many self improvement courses, she began working with the Government of Canada. She also worked part time as a Registered Nursing Assistant and was a Captain of the St John's Ambulance.  After many years and retirement in Toronto Emma moved to Calgary in 2000, at the age of 72 years to be near her daughter.  After failing health, she moved into Lacombe to again be near to Eva and Phil.

Emma was passionate about crafts and was a very talented painter. She was a woman of strong Faith and was hardly ever seen without her Bible.
