After high school, she was employed by Bell Telephone as a Line Operator in Washington, PA, and at Pacific Crest Telephone in Southern California.

On July 24, 1948, Emma married Pete Angott, of Washington, PA, whom God called Home on May 1, 2000. Together they raised six children, Lois D’Emilio, Joanne Davis, Dennis Angott, Donald (Cheryl) Angott, Jeff (Sue) Angott, and Mary Anne (Tom) Waltz.
