She was born June 19, 1928 in Walnut Bottom to the late Oscar E. and Verna (Shoap) Crull and was the widow of Jay W. Finkenbinder.
Erma loved sewing, reading, gardening and caring for her animals. She was always able to spot a four-leaf clover in a grassy area and a smile could be seen on her face anytime she spotted a rainbow. Erma was a loving sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

(wife Debra) Finkenbinder, John P. Finkenbinder, Michael E. (wife Karen) Finkenbinder, and Larry D. (wife Rose) Finkenbinder all of Carlisle; one brother, Jack R. Crull of Carlisle; 16 grandchildren; and 27 great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents and her husband, Erma was preceded in death by one son, Wilmer J. “Bill” Finkenbinder II and eight brothers and sisters.
Funeral services will be private and held at the convenience of the family with Erma’s granddaughter, Rev. Amanda Knouse officiating. Burial will be at Westminster Cemetery. A memorial service celebrating Erma’s life will be announced at a later date.
