  • Name Emma KENYON  [2] 
    • Emma Slawson
      SLAWSON, Emma
      Kenyon
      Emma was born on February 28, 1916, in Genesee, PA, the daughter of James and Emma Hurd Kenyon. She was a lifelong resident of Genesee until the last decade, when she resided with her niece in Bath, NY, where she passed away peacefully on Monday, September 29, 2008. On February 4, 1936, in Wellsville, NY, she married Harold M. Slawson and they enjoyed 47 happy years together until his death in 1983. Emma worked for Worthington in Wellsville through the World War II years. Following the War and in subsequent years, she worked for Bausch and Lomb Optical, Galeton Production, and Mapes Woodworking. Emma and her husband also owned and operated Slawson's Service Station in Genesee for more than 35 years. Fellow employees would always comment on her work ethic, perfectionism, and professional dedication. For those of us who loved her, we will never forget her caring, loving nature, her absolute loyalty and devotion to her family. For us, there will never be anyone like our Aunt "Em" or "Omie". A special thanks to all her caregivers over the years, most especially the family wishes to thank her principal caregiver, Kathy Luce, for her love, devotion and dedication to Aunt Emma. Without her, we couldn't have made it! Besides her husband, she was predeceased by four sisters, Mrs. Lowell (Hazel) Shepard, Mrs. Frank (Lina) Dean, Mrs. Sewall (Augusta) Vaughan, and Mrs. Charles (Norma) Lambert; and two brothers, Warren D. Kenyon, and William S. Kenyon. She is survived by a niece, Nancy A. Vaughan of Bath, NY; three nephews, Douglas L. (Ann) Vaughan of Erie, PA, James (Claire) Shepard of Shinglehouse, PA, and James (Yuriko) Kenyon of Las Vegas, NV; a stepdaughter, Marian Feness of Depew, NY; and numerous grandnieces and nephews. Friends may call at the Olney Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Ulysses, PA, on Thursday, October 2nd from 2?3 p.m., with Funeral Services at 3:00 p.m. The Rev. David Ford will officiate. Burial will be in Genesee Cemetery. The family will provide the flowers. Memorials may be made to the Genesee Cemetery, c/o Robert Kenyon, Genesee, PA 16923; or the United Methodist Women, c/o Audrey Eaton, 341 O'Donnell Rd., Genesee, PA 16923.
