Darrell Emge's Obituary
Darrell Emge of The Villages, Florida reached Heaven on July 26, 2017 at the age of 78 years. His loving wife, Georgia Emge, was by his side. Darrell was born April 22, 1939 in St. Louis, Missouri to Russell and Marie Emge. He proudly served his country in the US Army. Darrell and his wife, Georgia, moved to The Villages in 2007 from O'Fallon, Missouri. Darrell was an avid sports fan and he had great passion for the St. Louis Cardinals! In his working years, he gave back to the community and was involved and volunteered for many non-profit organizations. He was the life of any and all parties and he was cherished by all who had the honor of being in his presence. Darrell was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Brian Emge. Darrell's wife, Georgia; children, Douglas (Terry), Kim Scola (Vince), Leslie, Del Moore (Dawn), Linda Keim (Tim), 14 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and many friends will continue to celebrate his life well-lived and the laughter that he always shared with others.
A special thank you to his loving caregivers at 3 C's for Elders and Marion County Hospice.
