Emma Koenig, age 91, of Cecil, WI, formerly of Gillett, WI, passed away Saturday, January 23, 2016. She was born May 17, 1924 in Gillett, WI, daughter of the late Herman and Wilhelmina "Minnie" (Giese) Yaeger and graduated from Gillett High School in 1942.
Emma married Orland S. Koenig, July 22, 1944 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Gillett and together they shared 66 loving years of marriage before Orland passed in 2011. Emma and Orland farmed in the Gillett area until the late 1960's after which they moved to Cecil, WI.
Emma was a lifetime member of Immanual Lutheran Church (now Faith United Church) of Gillett, WI where she served on the Mission and Home Finance Committees for several years and taught Sunday School. Her faith was so dear to her heart.
