To Mary Martha's family and many friends - we extend our deepest condolences on her passing. She was such a wonderful lady, always smiling and happy whenever we would see you at church or around town. Even in recent years as her health failed, she remained an example to all of how to life a life with dignity. Although she was the end of an era for the Emley family, she and her siblings will remain in the hearts of her family and all of Germantown forever. Karen Carmickle and Mark Heistand
