Three of her children and a son-in-law were by her side at "The Meadows". Emma was the second child of Rene & Loretta (Hubbard). She was born, June 7,1932, raised and lived much of her adult life in Sand Beach. She was a dedicated wife and mother and kept an immaculately clean house, loved her plants, flower gardens, rhubarb patch and currant bushes. Following her husband Hugh's death, 20 years ago, she rekindled a childhood friendship, which then blossomed into love and adventure in traveling to Mirimichi, Quebec and every winter to Florida. She leaves behind her fiancé, Gerald Smith; 5 children - Rickey (Patricia), Brian (Lucy), Karen Bolstad, Linda (Garry) Thayer and Donna Sharon (Duke) Greene. Her family tree has many new branches with 13 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and 4 great-greats. She is also survived by sisters, Evalyn Robichaud, Diane (Austin) Saulnier and brother Arnie. She was predeceased by husband, Hugh; grandson, Tyler Hattie; sister, Lena (Bruce) Gallagher; brothers, Clarence ,Leonard (Vera) and her parents.
