Emma Carpenter Edsall is the youngest of Lucy’s grandchildren. Her earliest memories include being "rocked in a straight chair" on Granny Lucy’s lap and listening to stories of Tate City, rattlesnakes, and screaming panthers ("screaming painters", Lucy would have said). As a Toastmaster, Emma often delights her audiences by recounting these tales.
Emma graduated from Franklin High School and received a degree in social work from Western Carolina University. She married Bill Edsall in Cullowhee, and they moved to Bill’s hometown of Concord, North Carolina. Emma is a software engineer with Enovia Corporation in Charlotte.
Bill and Emma have two children and one grandson. Emma’s spare time is mostly devoted to being "Granny." However, she still finds time for worship, friends, and her chihuahuas. Writing is a way of life, as both her career and her avocation include writing technical manuals, test cases, or speeches.
