If you have never met Emma Ockey Carter, here is your chance.

Emma Carter still has some Jones blood in her! When asked if she was planning on doing any square dancing in June for her 93rd birthday, she would if we find somebody to carry her oxygen tank around! Her Dad was Bill Ockey, who was the son of Wm. Cole Ockey of Nephi. Her mother was Pearl Jones, daughter of Wm. & Elizabeth Tolley Jones. After graduating from Juab High in 1943, she completed two years at the AC (now Utah State) along with a daughter of Vic Jones. They loved campus life, mainly because there was a squadron of USA Fly boys stationed next to campus. She liked men in uniforms, being keen on her dad, who fought on the front lines in the trenches of World War One, pulling one injured partner out of more harm. When she returned to Nephi, Jack Carter looked great in a uninform who just returned from the Philippines of the Second World War, so they teamed up and along came Kathleen, Debbie, Mike and Jan. They lost son Donald when he was four. Her favorite Uncle was Grant Jones, and when asked who some of Nephi's prettiest gals were years ago, we all concluded it was and still remains-Emma, but she did point out the photos of her cousins-Marian, Marie and Beth as close seconds. She was proud to work as a telephone operator with Mrs. Smith and fast thinking to get help for a woman who wasn't answering calls and saved her life. First photo is of Jack; second is of brother Paul with his Team; second is the beautiful Emma; third is Emma as an operator; fourth is three of Emma's kids; parents Bill & Pearl Ockey by home on 100 East and Track and last is of Team with Joe Garrett; unknown; Earl McPherson, Grant Jones and Mont Blackett. Her best friend was sister Dora Shaw.
