She married Edward Malone in 1934, and their son, Thomas, was born in 1938. She was later married to Dave Baskett. Erma moved to Oklahoma City in 1948 to pursue her teaching career, and in 1954 earned her Masters of Education at the University of Oklahoma. Erma was dedicated to her profession and although she thought of herself as a teacher first, she spent much of her career as a successful and respected principal. She served at a number of schools including Hayes, Putnam Heights, and Dewey, and retired from the Oklahoma City school district in 1981. Erma's sense of humor and her love for her family and friends will be dearly missed. She is survived by her three grandchildren, Michael, Stephanie, and Christopher Malone, and daughter- in-law Janet Malone. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, August 15 at the Hahn-Cook Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will be at Old Bokoshe Cemetery (Bokoshe, OK).
