Our deepest sympathy to the family and many, many friends of Erma. She was our special aunt
that always had a smile and a fresh baked pie for you. She was the Queen of Shoo Fly pie and Chicken Corn soup. Her
volunteer work was above all and she will be dearly missed.

I am so saddened to hear of Aunt Erma's death. Some of my fondest childhood
memories are of her and our families at summer reunions. I'll always remember that she was quick to smile and have a good
laugh. She made the best chicken corn soup and pies.
Deepest sympathy.
