She was a long-time member of the Zion Lutheran Church on Scott St. where she was a member of the Alter Guild for over 40 years. Erma had her own sense of humor and marched to the beat of her own drum to know her was to love her. With failing health Erma moved to Thunder Bay in 2005 to be closer to her Thunder Bay family. Although she liked Thunder Bay, she loved Fort Frances as this was her home and she spoke often and fondly of one day returning to her home on Williams Ave. where it all began for her and Nick.
