A celebration of Emily’s life will be held at Grace Bible Church, 150 Sunset Road, Pompton Plains NJ on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at 11 AM.
Went home to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on September 20, 2018. Emily was born November 27, 1921 to Arthur and Emily Madeline Hopkins in their home on Chestnut Street in Nutley, NJ. Early in her life Emily’s family moved to Conover Avenue, a neighborhood she loved. Emily always shared the countless stories of her years growing up there. An important place in Emily’s teen life was the roller rink. This is where she met the love of her life, Charles McQuaid. During World War ll, at the young age of 21, Emily travelled by train to the west coast to marry her sweetheart. Together, they raised three children.
Emily loved her many grandchildren. She was blessed to live close to five of them. When her daughter Nancy moved to Alaska and started a family, Emily, who had never been on an airplane and was now in her 60’s began many years of flying to Fairbanks to visit and be a wonderful hands-on grandmother to her two Alaskan grandchildren.
The most important thing to Emily was her faith in Jesus Christ. She spent many years teaching her children, grandchildren and many others about the love of Jesus. For much of her life, Emily taught Sunday School, Pioneer Girls and Good News Clubs. She even volunteered as a camp counselor when in her 50’s. Emily’s favorite hobbies were bowling and exploring nature. She enjoyed many years bowling for teams in both New Jersey and Alaska. Countless hours were spent sharing her love of nature with family. Emily was always up and ready for a camping trip. Sewing and crocheting were also favored pastimes. Her family always appreciated her hand made gifts.
Loved ones that passed on before: her father, Arthur Hopkins, mother and best friend, Emily Madeline Hopkins, loving husband, Charles McQuaid, brother Arthur C. Hopkins, Sr., sister, Ruth Semenas, and daughter-in-law, Lynda McQuaid.
Loved ones that will miss her until they meet again are her three children; Dennis McQuaid, Arthur McQuaid and wife Susan, daughter, Nancy-Carol Green and husband Richard, brother Ronald Hopkins and wife Sharon; grandchildren Tim (Rosalie), Denise, Shawn (Laura), Melissa (Lou), Chuck (Liz), Christopher, and Kim (Caleb) and 15 great grandchildren.
