Erma Matson

(originally posted 3/6/09)

For those of you who know me, my good friend, Joy Matson's mother passed away early yesterday morning at George Davis Manor in West Lafayette. Erma Matson was 91 when she died and moved to West Lafayette about four years ago from Princeton, IL where she and her husband raised three children, Marion, Marvin and Joy.

Erma's husband, Delbert, and their eldest son, Marion, preceded her in death. Joy lives in West Lafayette and Marvin and his wife and two children live in Okemos, MI (outside East Lansing).
There will be a Memorial Service for Erma at George Davis Manor on Cumberland Avenue in WL, between Salisbury and Yeager Roads at 5:30 on Saturday March 7th. There will be a reception at my home after the Memorial Service.

Delbert and Erma lived a very simple and furgal life, but through their conservation, were able to accomplish much more than many who are wealthy. During these difficult economic times, let's learn from Delbert and Erma.
