Emma C. Stier

Emma was born on August 19th, 1943 on Turkey Knob, at MacDonald, West Virginia. Her father was William Bolt and her mother Mary Lee Acord. A daughter to a long line of coal miners. She loved growing up there, running and roaming the hills of West Virginia and was proud to be a coal miner's daughter. She later moved to Oxford, Michigan where she was a resident for many years and worked for 30 years for GM Truck and Coach until she retired and moved to Prescott. She was caregiver to her beloved mother, Mary, for many years after that.

Her greatest love was her family and she was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Emma had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. She was gentle and sensitive and was always putting others before herself. She never found fault in anyone she loved. Because she made such a valiant fight against cancer, bouncing back so many times, the family called her their "energizer bunny".

Emma was preceded in death by her father, William Bolt; husband, Dennis Stier; mother, Mary Conner; father, Marvin Conner; sons, William and Jeffrey Duncan; and brother, Gregory Conner. She is survived by sisters, Barbara (Clay) Baker of Las Vegas, Gayla (Tom) Strader, sister-in-law, Sherry Conner of Prescott; grandson, William Duncan of Prescott; granddaughter, Christina Duncan and great granddaughter, Meeya Bell, daughter-in-law, Sue Von Otten of Auburn Hills; daughters, Deona Stier of Lake Orion and Denise Flores of Romeo and many loving grandchildren. She is also survived by an aunt, Sue Facello of Pontiac; nieces, Dawn and Amber Davis of Las Vegas, Kimberly Conner, Ashley Conner and Amanda Strader of Prescott, Richelle LeValley of Deford, Michigan; nephews, Michael (Tina) Baker and Jackson of Las Vegas, Jason Conner, Matthew Conner and Gregory Conner of Prescott; beloved cousins, Teresa and Jake Smith, Trista (Mike) Spencer of Alger; Susan (Heather) Hendley, Cheryl Barber of Whitelake, Betty (Mason) Gravely of Newark, Delaware; and many other loving cousins, nieces and nephews in Michigan, West Virginia and Delaware.
