Emily Ann Trees, 81, of Timonium Maryland, passed away peacefully on October 12, 2020. Emily, sometimes known as “Woop”, was the daughter to Emily and Raymond Wolpert (WWII veteran), was raised on Chestnut Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School and St. Joseph School of Nursing. Emily married her high school sweetheart, Jerry (of Lancaster Catholic’s unbeaten 1956 football team). Together, they moved from her hometown and traveled to multiple locations. After raising 3 children and a 30-year work history gap, Emily took a refresher course and stepped back into nursing. She completed 10 years of medical-surgical nursing at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Emily volunteered at Gallagher Services, assisted with Parkinson’s support groups and was an active member of several committees at Mercy Ridge Retirement Community. Her pride and joy were her eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren who frequently visited and called. Emily was loving, selfless and uproariously funny.
Emily was the beloved wife of the late Gerald E. Trees with whom she shared 54 years of marriage. She was the dear mother of Jeffrey Trees (Kathleen), Maureen Bridges (Alan) and Brian Trees; cherished sister-in-law of Charles Trees (the late Patricia), the late Robert Trees (Linda), Donald Trees (Kathleen), the late Agnes Russell (the late William), Elizabeth Roeser (Peter), Joan Brown (Ronald), Jean Trees, Mary Ellen Bupp (Eric) and William Trees; beloved “MomMom” of Hagan, Ryan, Emily, Rose, Phillip, Kimberly, Mykaela and Brittany; adoring great-grandmother of Mattie, Agnes, Nora, Kate, Rhoads and Flynn. Also, lovingly survived by Vanessa Stone and Susan Straley.
Service and Interment Private. Interment will be at Mount St. Mary’s Cemetery in Emmitsburg alongside her husband Jerry.
