Erma Schremp, 92, Wausau, passed away on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at Wausau Manor.

She was born September 24, 1922 in Colby, daughter of the late Benjamin and Anna (Schulz) Smart.

Erma lived most of her life in the Wausau area and worked at Marathon Electric, Wausau Rubber Plant, Connor Lumber and John Muir Junior High School.

Following her retirement, she loved to sew, cook and garden. She also enjoyed dancing, golfing, bowling and traveling.

She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Montgomery Plant Unit #10, Wausau for 28 years.

The family requests that memorial donations be made to First English Lutheran Church where she was a member for over 70 years—and always loved to sit in the back.
