Born in Vienna, Austria on December 7, 1923, she was the daughter of the late Peter and Elisabeth (Goeschl) Sladky.  She completed her education in Vienna prior to coming to the United States and was a “War bride” in 1948.  She lived in North Attleboro and moved to Wrentham in 1979.

Emmy worked for the now defunct Attleboro Savings Bank for almost 20 years, retiring as Assistant Vice President.

She was the sister of the late Elisabeth Rother, Rudolf Sladky, Hedy Houdek and Karl Sladky (missing in action during WWII).  Emmy’s only surviving sister, Johanna Gabriel, is living in Vienna.  She is also survived by her son, Peter C.

Emmy loved to play golf during her younger years and enjoyed many hobbies, including gardening, knitting, crocheting, rug hooking and braiding, as well as needlepoint.  Her favorite time of year was Christmas, when she baked hundreds of cookies and fruitcakes for her family and friends.

When her children were young, she was active in scouting and Sunday School at the First Baptist Church in North Attleboro.  She was also a member of the Emblem Club.  Emmy was an avid sports enthusiast who always supported and attended her children and grandchildren’s sporting events and activities.
