Emma was an avid quilter and made quilts for other people and repaired many of them, giving some away to nieces and nephews and to children she baby sat. Emma won prizes for the quilting work she showed at quilt shows. She baby sat for children from infants to school age and many came back to visit her after graduating and leaving Lodi. She also loved gardening and growing flowers, especially African violets. Emma was a member of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church for 32 years.
