Emma Lou retired from Contact Lumber after 23 years of dedicated service. Emma loved her family dearly and was a very kind hearted lady. She always knew how to make you smile. She was very passionate about her flowers. If the weather was nice you could always find her outside caring for her rose bushes or admiring her red 1957 Chevy convertible. Emma also loved dancing and country music.
Arrangements are incomplete at this time, however, services will be held in Idaho when the weather is warmer. She will be laid to rest with her family.
The family would like to thank Denean Flower for caring for Emma in her home. Denean took excellent care of Emma and having her there allowed us to keep Emma at home, where she was most comfortable, until the time of her passing.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Alzheimer’s Association, in honor of Emma Lou.
