Arelda Anna Emrick. Age 86 of Greenville, Ohio passed away unexpectedly at 7:13 PM on January 10, 2020 at Sycamore Hospital, Miamisburg, Ohio. Born in Greenville, Ohio on March 10, 1933 she was one of 5 children to the late Willie Edger & Hannah Diana (Beanblossom) Edger. Arelda was a Greenville High School graduate, class of 1951. She was a member of the Coletown Congregational Church in Greenville, and had a strong and devoted faith to the Lord. Arelda grew up in the farm industry and was a member of the farm bureau, as well as the Darke County Steam Thrashers. She enjoyed going to the Union City Body Company’s retirees & spouses events and socializing. She had a knack for making one of a kind pie crust; a top secret recipe, to be exact! More than anything she loved to spend time with her family, and grandchildren; she will truly be missed. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband Richard Lee Emrick, whom she married December 28, 1950: brother George Edger: sister Marjorie Bailey: son-in-law Ted Stiver, Jr.: nephew David Edger: niece Betty June Whittaker: as well as the majority of the extended Emrick family members.
Arelda is survived by her children Ed Emrick; Tammy Emrick-Stiver: grandchildren Bryan & Jennifer Stiver; Philip & Melissa Stiver: great-granddaughter Madelyn Stiver: siblings Lenore Hittle; Lloyd & Sharon Edger: as well as many more extended family members, friends, and church family.
