In Pennsylvania they had 2 daughters, then moved to the Bay Area, and added a son. Emily was an incredible Mom, active with everything from holding "craft days" to oil painting, Emily was active in the Unitarian Church, running the Christmas pageants; and always lent a helping hand to friends and neighbors. She later became a medical office assistant for Dr. Donald Harris.
Wayne passed in 1973, and Emily later married Dr. Howard Martin, father of 2 children. Howard "Howie" and Emily adopted each others' art hobbies, and were active in the Los Altos Methodist Church and Habitat for Humanity.
She is survived by two daughters, a son, stepson, stepdaughter, 10 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandchild.
Services will be held at the Los Altos United Methodist Church, on April 27th at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Emily's name to Habitat for Humanity.
