Alice Eman
ISHPEMING, MI – Sept. 14, 1932 – June 21, 2023 – Alice M. Eman, age 90, a longtime resident of Ishpeming, passed away on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, at BeeHive Homes in Oregon, Wis. She was born on Sept. 14, 1932, in Republic, Mich., the daughter of Eddie Koski and Hilda (Maki) Koski.
She attended Bay Cliff Health Camp for several summers, as she was born with a hearing loss. It was there that she learned how to lip read. In the 2nd grade, she received her first hearing aid. Alice graduated from Republic High School and also the Marquette Beauty Academy. Alice began her career at the Cameo Salon in Ishpeming, working for many decades. She really enjoyed working with her elderly clients in both the salon and in their homes when they were home bound. She married Roy Eman on Jan. 12, 1957, in Republic, and they then settled in Ishpeming for the remainder of their lives.
In her free time, she loved to dance and play cards. She loved all the seasons in the U.P., cross country skiing in the winter, bird hunting with Roy, picking apples and making pies in the fall, cleaning up their properties in the spring, walking in the woods, and she treasured all the family time at 18 Camp, Oja’s Camp and since 2007 her nephew, Jeff and Diann’s Lake House in the summer/fall. She also enjoyed her time with friends on the Big and Little Dead River during the summer months. Her favorite past time was travelling to see her grandkids, watching them grow and watching all of the activities they were a part of in Michigan, Wyoming, California, Illinois, Indiana or Wisconsin.
Alice is survived by her daughters, Gloria (Glen) Clickner and Brenda Lasecki; grandchildren, Craig (Carrie) Clickner, Lauren (Kyle) Wilz, Eric (Alisha) Lasecki and Ben (Brooke) Lasecki; great-grandchildren, Elouise, Augusten, Greyson, Adelyn and Wyatt plus two on the way; her dear brother, Marvin (Chris) Koski; special friend, Bruno DeRossa; several nieces and nephews on the Eman & Koski sides; and of course all of the four-legged family members.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Roy; several aunts, uncles and cousins and close friends.
