Emma’s Obituary
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Emma Williscroft at the age of 90 years.
Emma Roselyn Stout was the first born in her family on July 23, 1932; in High Prairie to parents Samuel and Mildred (Shelton) Stout. She had a brother Glenn Stout, and sister Vina (Smith). Unfortunately Emma’s mother passed shortly after her sister was born. Her father Samuel remarried to Ruth Cleon. Together they added a half bother Samuel (Warren) Stout, an adopted brother Danny (Johnson), and two half sisters; Wilma (McDermott) and Bonita (Neufeld).
Emma met Jack (Swede) Williscroft when she was 15 years old at the local rodeo and was introduced to him by his sister, Maude. He ran horses in the races and needed a jockey as his had been injured and couldn’t ride. She was a good rider and always up for a challenge. She ended up winning the race and his heart. They were later married on October 23rd, 1952 at the Anglican church in High Prairie. After they were married they started a homestead about 30 miles south of High Prairie in the Banana Belt, where she spent 68 years living in a place she described as «God’s Country». Together they welcomed their eldest son Ronald; Daughter Tammy (Melnyk); and twin sons Gerry and Gary. Emma and Swede farmed their homestead planting crops, raising cattle and he often worked away operating his construction equipment. She spent her days keeping the household running and pitching in on the farm wherever she was needed. Sadly, an accident on the farm took her husband Swede; after spending 24 years together.

Many of her family have portraits she painted displayed proudly in their homes. she spent many years bowling at the local bowling alley in Enilda and accomplished many victories with the trophies to prove it. She and her long term partner Trevor Morgan went on many holidays together travelling across Canada and the United States. She and Trev loved to go to dances together with their friends and played cards every week. She had a competitive side, and they never left a card game unfinished playing for pennies they kept in jars on her table. She looked forward to helping the Royal Purple ladies prepare for the busy rodeo kitchen every summer. Emma loved her family and though her grandchildren and great grandchildren hung the moon. She led a busy life and still drove into town every week even at 89 years old to visit with friends and family.
