 Emily graduated from Ashley High School in 1943, where she played basketball for the Ashley Wildcats.  During her high school years, Emily learned to be an entrepreneur by working in her mother’s business.

 In 1944 Emily married the love of her life, Herbert Preszler, Sr. after meeting at an USO Dance. Emily was a dedicated wife and devoted mother to her four children. Emily truly loved and deeply cared for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in all their endeavors.  She was their biggest fan, cheerleader, supporter and caretaker. She made countless apple pies and should have been the author of “Chicken Soup is Good for Your Soul”, as Chicken Soup was her cure for all things. She was an amazing cook and held dear to old world family recipes. Her compassion for others and her lust for life made her an amazing business woman and partner.

 In addition to operating a successful business, Emily and Herb were active in the commercial fishing industry in Fort Bragg, California. Together, they owned and operated the vessels, “Valley Girl” and “Big Em.”  Emily and Herb loved to spend their summers vacationing on the Pacific north coast where they enjoyed the beauty of the red woods, lush flowers and cool climate.

Emily was a member of the Zion Reformed Church and Order of the Eastern Star.
