At the age of 6, she began milking cows and has been active in the dairy operation for over 80 years. Emelia loved to farm and work in her vegetable and flower gardens. She loved to spend joyous time with her animals, especially her pet dog Cody. She also loved being around her children, grand and great grandchildren and enjoyed listening to their stories. She enjoyed spending time with her friends, having coffee, pizza and chicken drummies at the local restaurants in Elgin.
