Emma Timmermann

By Sarah Shurge – 2026 is a big year for Emma Timmermann.
Not only did Emma turn 100 years old on Saturday, January 3rd, but on Monday, February 9th, she will celebrate 80 years of marriage to her husband Henry Timmermann.
Last June, Henry turned 100 years old. The mayors of Wayne and Westland attended his celebration.
Emma’s 100th birthday party will be on January 18th at St. John’s Lutheran Church’s gymnasium.
In February 1946, Henry and Emma Timmermann were pronounced man and wife at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Wayne.
Five children, 18 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 15 great-great grandchildren later, Henry and Emma are still as strong as they ever were.
Both Henry and Emma are members of the Wayne Historical Society.
Happy birthday and congratulations to Emma on turning 100 years old!
