Emma Jean met Henry Joritz through work in Waterloo, IA and married in 1955. She worked for Wright McGill (Eagle Claw) until her retirement in 1980.
Emma Jean was very strong-willed and determined. Every year she would throw a large 4th of July party for friends and family and always looked forward to that. She loved camping and fishing with her husband and family, she loved playing pool, playing cribbage and watching sports, mainly baseball. She could give you stats back for multiple years when it came to baseball and could give you all the details on the upcoming Rockies schedule.
She is survived by her daughter Judy McClure, grandchildren Laura Finney and Patrick McClure (Nancy) and great-grandson Andre Finney.
Emma Jean was preceded in death parents John and Sadie Wyant, brother Everett Wyant and husband Henry Joritz.
