Obituary for Emma Radke (Fischer)

Emma  Radke (Fischer)
Emma Radke, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away on Tuesday, May 24 at the age of 87 years. Left to cherish her memory are one daughter, Glenda (Gary) Bailey; one son, Dennis (Marion) Radke; two grandchildren, Regan Hoko and children Sydney and Emery, and Rob (Maria) Radke and children Mathias, Sophia and Gabrielle. Emma was predeceased by her parents, Emma and David Fischer and her brother Ewald Fischer. Emma was born on August 31, 1928 in Medicine Hat and grew up in the Longfellow area southeast of Medicine Hat. Emma married Ewald Radke in 1948 and lived her life looking after the upbringing of her children and supporting her husband who raised purebred Hereford cattle. In 1981 Emma stayed on at Em’s Shady Lane farm on the Holsom Road hosting parties at the Kowplex quonset, looking after a big yard and spending weekends in her trailer at Rattlesnake Park. Emma was a Life Member of the Order of the Eastern Star and Royal Purple and also a member of the Daughters of the Nile. She loved travelling out of town to meetings and conventions with Glenda which always produced a lot of laughs and fun times. She enjoyed crocheting, gardening and dancing. Emma was always dressed smartly and possessed a vast array of shoes and jewelry to compliment her wardrobe. In 2006 Emma moved to Park Meadows Estates where she spent her time entertaining guests. Due to failing health Emma relocated to the Meadowlands Retirement Complex in 2012 and in September of 2014 journeyed to the Good Samaritan Continuous Care facility where she resided until her passing.
