Erma Cheney was born October 23, 1914, in Burley Idaho. She was the third of nine children of E Stoyell Cheney and Rosina Liechty Cheney. The Cheney family moved from Burley to Emmett, and that is where she met and married Frank (Francis James) Spencer. Frank and Erma were married on July 23, 1932.

Erma and Denise moved to Eagle in 1965 when she married Ted Fuller. By then all of her older children were married and living elsewhere. She continued with her versatile contributions and became known for her skills as a seamstress making custom clothes and wedding dresses.

As a member of the Eagle Ward of the LDS church, Erma was very active with many callings and loved the church. As a citizen of Eagle, she worked hard on city efforts to enhance the community. Erma and Ted were married for 25 years before his passing in 1991. Subsequently she served two missions, one in the Washington D.C. temple, and one in the Atlanta temple before moving back to Emmett.
