She attended school at Lakeside District #40 near Beardsley through the 8th grade. She was confirmed in 1940 and was a member of Friedens Reformed Church. Emma continued to live on the farm with her sister, Sophie. She loved to be outdoors and loved farming. She did everything on the farm with the exception of baling hay and combining. She loved to watch television, especially Western movies.
