Erma loved to crochet, enjoyed bingo and loved to go to garage sales. Many of us have beautiful memories of her gifted talent to make wonderful crochet crafts. She loved to sit and play a card or board game and loved holiday gatherings. Erma had many dear friends near and far, and she was Grandma to many more than her own. She will be missed by them all.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Ermas family.
