NAGY, Emma Louise (Laing)

Emma died peacefully August 16, 2014 in her 82nd year. She was born August 3, 1933 to Grace McMynn and Richard Laing. Emma and her brother Jim lived with their parents on her pioneer grandfather Thomas Laing's Sea Island farm. She graduated from Prince of Wales High School and always valued her friendships from those days. After an interesting career at Vancouver City Hall, Emma married George Dunn. Several years after George died Emma married Frank Nagy. She cared for her parents and her late husbands in their illnesses with patience. Emma was the epitome of a lady - always kind and polite, and always well dressed. She will be missed by brother Jim, nephews, cousins and friends. Special thanks to all those who made her last months comfortable, but especially to the caregivers at Sunrise of Vancouver including Hans, Jovi and Maritoni. A private burial was held at Valley View Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to a Memorial Service on Saturday, September 6 at 10 am at Kearney Funeral Chapel, 450 West 2nd Ave, Vancouver BC.
