Special thanks to Carrie Sawyer for the loving care she provided .
Emalu was born to Clair and Minnie Mespell on 02/15/27, in Iron Mountain , Michigan. Childhood days were filled with adventures with twin sister, Ann by her side and big sister Clarice In tow. Eventually they made their way East and settled in Ithaca area , attending High School in Virgil, New York .
She was the Mother of 7 children that were scattered hither and yon. One of her greatest joys was when any group of them got together and spent time with her.
Emalu had a creative flair. She was a published poet, having several poems published . She was an active member of the Ithaca Writers group for many years, winning a writer's award in 1989.
Emalu never saw a room she couldn't decorate. She had a sense of style that was pure class. Her wardrobe reflected that; never complete without a hat! She had various retail jobs to include owning her own shop, "Lee's Retreat"in Punxsutawney , PA.
The family will receive friends on Saturday morning, January 11, 2020 from 9:00 A.M. till 10:00 A.M. at the Herson Wagner Funeral Home. 110 S. Geneva St. Ithaca N.Y. A funeral service will be held at the funeral home at 10:00 A.M. Burial in Pine Grove Cemetery will immediately follow.
She was a little package with a mighty power-it was spunk! We will miss the little lady with the spunk of a kid and the beauty of a pale pink rose .
