Caregiver was an understatement when describing what she enjoyed doing. She was one of the most selfless, compassionate, and genuine ladies that never met a stranger. She always had a warm smile and inviting way about her that always made you feel loved and welcome.
She is survived by her spouse, Fred Emerton; nephew; Chase Emerton (Suzanne); great-niece, Ada Emerton; aunt, Faye Lusk; cousin, Cheryl Lusk; sister-in-law, Lucy Copeland (Homer); best friend and neighbor, Tara Boles; as well as a host of friends, and neighbors that will mourn her passing.
