Jacqueline “Jackie” Rose Emge (nee Olendorff), of St. Paul, Missouri, went to be with our Lord on April 18, at the age of 96.
Loving wife of James “Jim” Emge for 59 wonderful years; cherished daughter of the late Bernard and the late Blanche Olendorff; devoted and loving mother of Dale (Kristin) Emge, Diane (Bill) Griesenauer and Cheryl (Jack) Ingram; cherished grandmother of Jeff, Mark, Keith, Greg, Doug, Dan, Kim and Katie; treasured great-grandmother of Clayton, Owen, Madelyn, Addison, Ava, Lauren, Cecilia, Keats, Caleb, Abby and Lizzy; dear sister of the late Clifford Olendorff, the late Lloyd Olendorff, the late Virgil Olendorff, the late Maurice Olendorff, and the late Robert Olendorff.
Jackie was a lifelong parishioner of the St. Paul Catholic Church. Mom loved spending time with her family and friends, watching the St. Louis Cardinals, making beautiful quilts and playing bingo. We are certain she is thrilled to be reunited with Dad and that they are now dancing to their favorite song, Somewhere My Love. Jackie was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Paul Knights of Columbus Inc. for the Jacqueline Emge Memorial Scholarship Fund benefiting families of St. Paul 8th grade students.
A visitation will be held Monday, April 22, from 12:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Pitman Funeral Home, in Wentzville. The funeral will be Tuesday, April 23, at 12:00 p.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church, St. Paul.
