Erma D. (Hill) Danforth, 86, Oneida, passed away surrounded by her family in the evening hours of March 21, 2019. The daughter of Robert and Melinda (Parkhurst) Hill was born on January 22, 1933. On September 10, 1949, Erma married William "Bill" Danforth. Together, they raised thirteen children together. Erma was an owner and operator at Danforth Bar and The White Eagle. She also worked at the Radisson, Oneida Retail and in the kitchen at the Oneida Nation School. Erma was a devoted wife, mom, grandma, great-grandma, great-great grandma, sister, auntie, Dodo, and friend. She enjoyed spending time watching the Packers, Badgers and golfing. She collected turtles and angels, and enjoyed watching/feeding birds and traveling/site-seeing. She treasured her time spent at get togethers with family, was loyal to family sporting events, and was a woman of truth and honor. Her heart was filled with the joyous sounds of family laughter and music. She was so happy that she was able to be in her home, rather than in a nursing home. Erma is survived by her children, Jackie Danforth, Tommy (Karen John) Danforth, Carmen Danforth, Erwin (Marsha) Danforth, Ingrid (Mike) King, Paul (Tina) Danforth, Kerry "Buggs" (Candace) Danforth, Grace Delgado, and Melinda K.
