Our wonderful Mom/Grandma passed December 4th, 2025.
She was an amazing woman who loved life and faced each day with joy. She turned 106 on Dec. 2nd. We used to ask her what her secret was to such a long life and she always said she just didn’t worry about things– she thought it was a waste of energy. She would get up each day and get dressed to go out “just in case someone called and wanted to go somewhere”. Wherever she went and whatever she was doing was always an adventure to be enjoyed. She will be so missed but we, her family and friends, are so lucky to have known and loved this one-of-a-kind very special lady. We love you Mom – thank you for giving us so many years of pure pleasure and loving care.
The family would like to thank all of you at the Cloverdale Senior Center for all your care and attention to Erma over the years. She always loved participating in your activities and made some wonderful friendships there. We have no doubt it was a contributing factor to her long life.
This message is from Judy Burden, Erma’s daughter- in-law.
