Erna Margaritte (nee Held) Huber passed on June 21, 2016, in Hilliard, Florida. She was preceded by Her Mother Barbette (nee Sperber) Held and Her Father Karl Held.
Erna was born on May 11, 1928 in Ansbach, Germany. During World War II Erna met Michael Huber, an American Soldier station at the Camp closest to Erna`s home.
She married her True Love on Sept 25, 1948. What a love they shared for 62 years.
Coming to the USA, Erna worked hard to learn to speak English and become a US Citizen. She received her Citizenship on Flag Day – June 14, 1950. Erna gave up a lot to
follow her true love – such as Her German Citizenship and not being able to see her family for years- but she never regretted it.
Erna and Mike`s marriage produced 4 children – Barbara Wethman (Bill), Linda Woodrow (Chuck), Michael ( Kathy)and John (Cindy).
There are 16 grandchildren, 14 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great Grand Child.
Erna was very involved in her Washington Township Community. She raised funds for WTHS PTO, Deborah Heart Lung Hospital, Wedgwood Women`s Club, American Legion Post #521.
Erna made many food baskets for families around the holidays.
Erna never met a stranger – she spoke to everyone. If you went with her to the supermarket “to pick up a few thing” – know that you were going to be there hours – she met everyone and had to talk .
Erna had many talents – she could do anything with a needle – Quilting, Crocheting, Knitting and her prized Cross stitch. Many people benefited from her beautiful Cross Stitch Pictures – she worked on many projects by request and for months.
Erna was know by most people as “The Mommmom”. She was always free with her opinion – no filter. The Mommom was our Queen – she held Court up to the end. She was the cutest, funniest, sweetest
Mommom ever. She told many stories about Germany – She was the Best of the Best.
Erna left a mark on everyone – she will be missed by many.
