She was a faithful member of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Florence. She was also a member of the Ladies KOLA club.
When she wasn’t working, spending time with her family was her greatest enjoyment. She loved spending time playing rummy with anyone that would play. She mostly loved playing with her granddaughters Samantha and Micki. She was a wonderful cook and taught her daughter-in-law, Brenda how to can. She didn’t mind traveling, but being home taking care of her family was where her heart was. She liked to watch the hummingbirds that she fed on her front porch, tend to her flower beds outside and her house plants inside. Erma was a wonderful person inside and out and will be missed greatly.
