Emma spent her career in Southeast Delco School District as a Server for Sharon Hill Elementary and Cook for Academy Park High School. She enjoyed serving the staff and students and getting to create her own recipes to share with the school. Along with her career in Southeast Delco School District, Emma worked for 711 as a Cashier and enjoyed interacting with her customers and getting to play the lottery.
Emma enjoyed spending time in her garden and on her back porch, feeding the birds, and people watching with a glass of wine.

Most of all, she enjoyed her frequent travels to Jamaica with Tom.
