Emma Mann

Emma E. Mann, 93, of Forks Twp., passed away peacefully on Monday, May 5, 2025 at Renaissance Senior Homes - Forks Twp. She was the beloved wife of the late Sherwood Mann to whom she was married to for 69 years before his passing in 2017. Born in Chapman Quarries, Emma was a daughter of the late Edwin and Anna Minnich (Herbst). Emma was a member of the Chapman Quarries United Methodist Church.

Emma spent much of her working life as a floor lady and later a sewing machine operator in the textile industry, mostly employed by Bath Garment. A talented individual, she also found joy in her hobbies, which included sewing, crocheting, needlepoint and crossword puzzles. Her hands were always busy creating beautiful pieces of art, but it was the beauty of music that truly touched her soul. Emma had a lifelong passion for playing the piano, often filling her home with the timeless melodies of old hymns such as "The Old Rugged Cross," "How Great Thou Art," and "In The Garden".

She will be missed by her son Dudley Mann (Marsha) of New Smyrna Beach, FL; brothers: Francis Minnich (Janet) of Easton, PA, David Minnich (Patricia) of Danielsville, PA and her many nephews and nieces. In addition to her husband, Emma was predeceased by sons Merritt & Eddy Mann as well as nine siblings
