Erma married Lester Ponthier in 1972 becoming an active Christian at Morningside Baptist Church. A dental assistant to Dr. Harold King for 20 years, Erma was a loyal and devoted employee, maintaining contact until her death. In 1990 Lester and Erma relocated to Granbury, joining Lakeside Baptist and becoming faithful members. Erma, affectionately known as the “Mayor”, worked part-time in the church office and participated in all aspects of church life. In 2009 God called Lester home leaving Erma to continue her faithful service.
Erma was loved by all she touched, especially her children, biological and those through marriage. She called her children by marriage “love children” showing love and devotion to all.
