Emma was born October 27, 1923 to Joe and Rose (Miller) Leingang, Sr. in St. Anthony, ND. Six weeks after Eugene Stegmiller returned home from serving in the US Air Force, Emma and he got married on July 9, 1946. They started farming right after marriage in the Flasher area for eleven years then moved to Mandan. Hardworking farm wife and mother, Emma took wonderful care of her large family. Keeping her mind and body sharp, Emma’s favorite past times were dancing, playing cards and baking.
Emma will be remembered for her amazing hospitality. With cooking and baking as one of her specialties, she made the best cinnamon rolls, all from scratch. It wasn’t uncommon to have made a whole meal out of just the rolls. Whenever the children would come to visit, they could order their favorite meal, regardless what it would be. Always keeping busy and sociable, she was an active member of the Golden Age Services and Senior Wellness Program. She also took much pride in her garden, and canned all the produce that came from it. In all of this, her family was the highlight of Emma’s life. She and Gene anticipated celebrating their 64th year of marriage on July 9th. These wonderful memories of Emma will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Left with many memories are her husband, Eugene, Mandan; her three daughters Sharon Wetzel, Bismarck, Deb (Allen) Bosch, Mandan, Karleen (Marty) Flakus, Winner, SD; son, Dave (Dorothy), Mandan, grandchildren, Dean (Dana) Stegmiller, Dewey (Crystal) Stegmiller, Danelle (Matthew) Klaman, and Dawn Tipton; 12 great grandchildren; sister, Hildegard (Christ) Hatzenbuhler, Mandan, sisters-in-law, Elizabeth Leingang, Marge Stegmiller both of Mandan, and Lorraine Carmen, Bismarck; brothers-in-law Leo (Rufina) Stegmiller, Flasher, Manuel (Frances) Stegmiller, and Henry (Leona) Stegmiller of Mandan.
