She attended country schools near the family farmstead and worked for the Fred Freeberg family performing household duties. As a young woman, she moved to California and was employed as a waitress for several years. While living in California, she met Floyd White, who was her sister’s brother-in-law. Emma and Floyd were united in marriage on June 30, 1942 in Reno, Nevada. They returned to North Dakota and purchased land east of Mercer, ND in Sheridan County. They lived and ranched there until 1968 when they sold their land and relocated near Wilton, ND. Along with the relocation, they began spending winter months in Apache Junction, Arizona. In 1983, they moved into Wilton where they built a home. Floyd White, her husband of 44 years, passed away in November 1986. Following Floyd’s death, she continued to make her home in Wilton and spend the winter months in Arizona. Emma served as a 4-H leader, a local Homemakers Club member, and a Wilton & Mercer Study Club member. She later became a member of the First Presbyterian Church and the Wilton Senior Center. Emma enjoyed entertaining family and friends and is remembered for her birthday cakes and special recipes.
