Aman Jr. was born and where he and his wife Emily Kalbach Aman raised their family. Emily’s early life was shaped by the life of her family’s church, Wayne Presbyterian. Emily graduated from Radnor High School in 1946 and from Wilson College in 1950. One of her majors in college was Christian education. She started working in that field after graduation, and in 1955 joined the staff of the Ardmore Presbyterian Church as Director of Christian Education. In 1964 she resigned to become a travel agent with an agency in Ardmore. She enjoyed travel, but she continued her life as a volunteer at Ardmore Presbyterian, including singing in its choir. She joined the Church as a member in 1970 and was later was elected to leadership positions culminating in the office of Elder. Following her retirement from the travel business she undertook more extensive volunteer activities including helping to run the switchboard at the Church. She taught in the Church’s Vacation Bible School and helped manage the Cherub Choir. She consistently contributed to the discussions of the ladies’ Bible study group. She was honored at a worship service of the Church in December of 2016 by a special citation which listed her numerous activities and closed with the statement that: “…there is no end to the joy Emily had given and continues to give to her APC family.” The citation was accompanied by gifts from the groups she had served. Emily was predeceased by her brother John K. Aman. She is survived by her brother George M. Aman III, five nephews, two nieces and 11 great nephews and nieces. Her Memorial Service will be held on Sat. Nov. 3rd. at 11 AM in Ardmore Presbyterian Church, 5 W. Montgomery Ave., Ardmore, PA 19003, with a reception to follow.
