Emma passed away Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at St. Benedict?s Health Center, Dickinson, ND. Emma Elizabeth Fisher was born April 11, 1917, the daughter of Anna (Dvorak) and Lyle Fisher. Emma attended country school at Versippi in Stark County and Iota District School in Dunn County. In her younger years, she enjoyed riding horses, watching the coyotes running from one hill to another while bringing in the dairy cows, and especially working outside with her father and brother rather than working inside. Emma and Walter Kadrmas were married October 9, 1945 in Dickinson, ND. Together they farmed and raised their children in Dunn County. They left the farm and moved to Dickinson and Emma decided to get her G. E. D. She then worked for 15 years with Home Health. She especially enjoyed taking care of the home patients and earning their friendship. Emma was always excited to have the grandchildren visit the farm and learn everything there was to know about raising poultry and farm animals. She and her grandchildren had fun sharing times together, enjoying homemade breads and checking the garden for ripe produce. Her greatest joy was reminiscing with the grandchildren about the differences between the farm life and the city life. She enjoyed playing bridge and pinochle and was very active in various card clubs. She also loved old time music and dancing. She was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, Hospital Auxiliary and St. Ann?s Alter Society.
