Emma K. Schimpf

Emma K. Schimpf, age 92, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December 31, 2008. She was from the Rockhill Mennonite Community and formerly of Kensington.

She was the daughter of the late William and Anna (nee Beitzel) Schimpf. Emma was also preceded in death by her brothers, William B. (Mary) Schimpf and Albert (Elizabeth) Schimpf and her nephew Bruce Schimpf.

Emma graduated from Kensington High School in 1934. She was a Corporate Secretary for the Pioneer Salt Company in Philadelphia until she retired in 1982. Emma was a faithful servant of her Lord Jesus Christ serving as an Elder at Beacon Presbyterian Church and at Penn Home where she was a member of the Board. She loved to travel and never let an occasion pass without a card or a phone call. “Aunt Emma” was devoted to her family and friends. She influenced the lives of not only her niece and nephews but also her grand-nieces and nephews and their children. She leaves a legacy of commitment and importance of family, friendships and faith. She will be deeply missed.

Emma is survived by her nephews, W. Scott (Deborah) Schimpf, Barry (Maryann) Schimpf, Brian (Cindy) Schimpf, and nieces Nancy (William) Schuler and Cathey Schimpf, the wife of the late Bruce Schimpf. She is also survived by eight grand-nieces and nephews and their children.
