She graduated from Longmont High School in 1945, where she met and later married Bob McAfee on May 18, 1947. They moved to the Denver area and there worked and raised their family until retirement at which time they returned to Longmont.

Emma worked as a secretary in both Sheridan and Littleton schools and the House of Representatives. When she returned to Longmont she worked at Alert Realty for several years.

She enjoyed playing golf, traveling, spending time with her family in a variety of ways, and serving God at her church where she was always very active, the last 30 plus years at Lifebridge Christian Church. Emma was involved in music ministry, women’s ministry, senior’s ministry, exercise class, and quilting group. She was an avid sports fan of the Broncos, Nuggets, and Rockies, and always rooted for her grandchildren in their activities.
