EMMA LOUISE EPP
Emma Epp died peacefully May 11. She was born Jan. 3, 1915, in Waldheim, Sask. to Jacob and Ida Siemens. After high school Emma trained to become a dental assistant and worked in a dentist's office in Saskatoon. In 1945, she married Carl Epp and they moved to Algonquin Park, Ont., where Carl's electronics expertise helped build the Pinetree Line. They retired in the early 1970s to Victoria, B.C where Emma continued her passion for piano music, photography, and charity work. Carl's death in 2000 devastated Emma, but she immersed herself in communicating with relatives, playing music, and participating in church groups, particularly the Women's Missionary Fellowship. Emma was known for her charitable attitude and giving ways. Predeceased by Carl; 1 sister; she is mourned by sisters Adeline Hulse and Verna Steele; sister-in-law Ethel Van Epp; nephews and nieces. The memorial was May 28 at Central Baptist Church, Victoria.
