Emma lived a full and curious life. She loved music, valued education, and was always eager to learn something new. Over the years, she worked in many fulfilling professions, including serving as a municipal judge and later as a travel agent, roles that reflected her love for people and her adventurous spirit.

In 1999, Emma made her home in Olathe, Colorado, where she became an active member of the community and a devoted participant in the Olathe United Methodist Church. A lifelong Christian, she was also a dedicated member of the PTA and PTO, always advocating for the importance of family and education.
