Emily Mae Sundberg was born March 2, 1930, in Centerville, Iowa, to Albert and Pearley (Nichols) Sundberg. The family then moved to Ohio. Emily moved back to Iowa when her first of five children was born, and migrated between Iowa and Ohio over the years. She worked in nursing homes as a nurse's aide, locally at Methwick. She enjoyed raising rabbits and goats on the acreage for many years. Emily enjoyed crocheting, knitting, and completing puzzle books. Until her illness, she recently worked at the McDonald's in Marion where she loved helping her co-workers and customers. She was friendly, but not afraid to tell you how it was.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and three siblings.

I had the pleasure of working with Emily when I was in high school. To this day I still think about some of the wisdom I took from our conversations. I was honored to know her and share a handful of laughs over the years. Will miss her deeply.
Emily was such a sweetheart. I would get to spend time with her when I would come back to the area to visit and we would go out to lunch with her work friends. She was always fun to chat with and I have fond memories of those lunches. You will be missed Emily!
