Emma Feige of Pomfret, CT passed away peacefully the afternoon of Tuesday, November 26th, 2013, at the age of 96. Miss Feige was born in Newport, Rhode Island on September 21, 1917, the daughter of Paul and Mary Feige. She is survived by a sister, Mrs. Helen Hemmer of Prospect Park, New Jersey, and numerous nieces, nephews, and their children and grandchildren. Miss Feige began working for Charles and Louise Abbott in 1941, and was the beloved caregiver, and surrogate aunt and grandmother, to generations of Abbotts. Her lifelong courage, determination, and will to live life fully were an inspiration to all her friends and family. She was an accomplished pianist, violinist, and vocalist who sang in several church choirs and madrigal groups over the course of her life. “Tante” was also an avid gardener who took special joy in flowers. She loved living creatures as well as plants, especially each of the dogs who were her companions over the years. She had a passion for card games of all kinds, and was a regular, and skilled, bridge player for decades. She will be greatly missed for her booming, infectious laughter; her constant affection and care; and a wondrous and almost endless supply of cookies, pies and cakes. A celebration of her life is planned for the spring of 2014. Her family and friends would welcome photographs and recollections to be shared in an album at that time. Please send them to her home at 330 Peterson Road, Pomfret Center, CT, 06259, c/o P. H. Abbott. A reminder and the specific details will be shared closer to the date. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Connecticut Humane Society at: Connecticut Humane Society, 701 Russell Road, Newington, CT 06111 or to the Food Pantry for Pomfret and the surrounding area care of: The Access Agency, 1315 Main Street, #2, Willimantic, CT 06226
