Emily was the consummate Mother and farm wife, helping her husband Albert run the family farm, raising 6 wonderful children, and creating the most beautiful flower and vegetable gardens in Otsego County.
She loved birds, wildlife (when not eating her gardens) and Nature. Emily was known for her “Green Thumb”, her delicious meals, her amazing baking skills (“Ton Cakes” and pies were always requested), and her warm, open and welcoming home. Emily’s greatest joy was first and foremost her family.
Her door was always open, and all were guaranteed hugs, laughter and good food when you came into her kitchen. She loved to decorate and celebrate every holiday.
