Else Charlotte Gertrud Emmer was the third child and only daughter of Otto and Elsbeth Friedrichs Emmer.
Gertrud Emmer was baptized January 25, 1915, and she was confirmed March 25, 1929, in the St. Stephani Evangelical Lutheran Church in Helmstedt, Germany.
Gertrud married Ewald Danker on April 3, 1937, in Helmstedt, Germany, and they were the parents of one daughter, Rosmarie, who was born April 13, 1938.
Gertrud was born during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II in Germany, and she grew up under the Weimar Republic, which replaced the German monarchy after Germany's defeat in 1918 in World War I. As a young lady, Gertrud saw the Nazi Party grow in power and take control of Germany. Gertrud lived through the devastation of World War II, which left her a young widowed mother. After Germany's defeat at the end of World War II in 1945, Gertrud saw the division of Germany among the allied powers. The city of Helmstedt became part of the British-occupied zone of Germany, and in 1949, Gertrud became a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany. Gertrud lived to see the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the reunification of Germany in 1990.
At her death, Gertud was survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Rosmarie and Klaus Stube.
Gertrud was preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Elsbeth Friedrichs Emmer; her husband, Ewald Danker; and her two brothers, Otto Emmer, Jr., and Hans Emmer.
