Emma L. Hegney, age 104, of New Rockford, ND, formerly of Carrington, ND, died Saturday, November 29, 2014, at Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd, New Rockford.
Emma Lydia Hoffman was born to Adam and Pauline (Huff) Hoffman on April 12, 1910, on the homestead in Longview Township, near the Hawks Nest. She had a twin brother, Otto, who died in the fall of 1910. Emma attended Longview #3 school through the fourth grade.

Message: Hi Bernice! Eddie and I were out of town and just got back late last night so I am just finding out that your Mom passed away. She was so amazing, to live to 104 years old. I'm so sorry for your loss. You were a good daughter to her by visiting her so regularly. It was a long trip to make each time. Just you and Darol now. I'm glad you have your family around you, especially during this time. Marla
