September 9, 1931 - August 19, 2024
Emma Bulmer passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family in the Sackville Memorial Hospital. Born at home in Dorchester Cape, New Brunswick, on September 9, 1931, she was the daughter of Helen Julia and Cecil Minard Mitton.
Emma was an active member of the Dorchester Baptist Church, serving in many capacities over the years. As a graduate of St. Joseph's College, she began her career at the Registry Office in Dorchester. Emma worked with several other local employers, including Atlantic Industries and the Drew Nursing Home.
Emma was the epitome of a strong and hard working woman. She always had something on the go whether it was baking, quilting, knitting, gardening, or making preserves. Known as a generous person, Emma often helped those in her community in any way she could. She mastered the computer including genealogy applications at an advanced age. Over the years she enjoyed numerous card games, darts, many day trips and trips to the US and the Carribean. Above all, she was family oriented and adored her children, grandchildren and especially her great grandchildren which include; Molly, Sawyer and Willow Graves, and recent addition, Zev Bulmer.
Her enduring faith guided her through many of life's challenges, including the loss of her husband at a young age. Emma managed to provide for, and guide, three children as a young widowed mother.
