Erma Dalton

CHAFFEE, Mo. — Erma Mary-Anne Dalton, daughter of the late Harold and Myrtie Mae King Schoen, was born May 15, 1933, in Ardeola, Missouri, and departed her life Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, at her daughter's home, surrounded by loving family at the age of 90 years.

Erma was well known for being a big part in her community, from being an ombudsman to giving her heart and soul to each and every one of her patients in the hospital. She gave her all in being a glamour technician and teaching those who had the passion to do and be the same. She wanted to make everyone feel loved and beautiful. Erma did all this in the eyes and help of the Lord Almighty.

She was a very strong, powerful and spiritual woman who did all in God's name. She never met a stranger and spread the Word of the Lord. Erma was of the Assembly of God faith.

Survivors include one son, Bruce McCulley, and one daughter, Annettee (Laddie) Bridwell; five grandchildren, Leslie (Eric) Sesson, Zelma (Charlie) Lutes, Daniel Bridwell, Deanna (Brad) Richardson and Julie McCulley; 12 great-grandchildren, Kevin, Lacie, Kristen, Christopher, Ethan, Seirra, Macenzie, Jessica, Haileigh, Taylor, Damion and Faith; and three great-great-grandchildren.

Besides her parents, Erma was preceded in death by her husband, John, and by one sister.
