Mrs. Charping’s (Emmie to most) great love were her children, family and many friends. Family and friends shared countless days of love, laughter and her spontaneous wit. These will be special memories for us all. When God decided to end her pain and suffering of her cancer, He took her home on her husband’s birthday and it gives us peace and comfort to know what a mighty celebration there was in heaven that day. They were married 61 years.
