MOUNT VERNON (WABC) -- Police in Mount Vernon are investigating the murder of an 85-year-old woman whose body was found Tuesday in her home.

She was known as Miss Emma. 85-year-old Emma Gruber was a fixture at Doles Community Center in Mount Vernon, where her fellow seniors called her Miss Congeniality.

"She loved to say her doctors would ask her, what is your gift for life and she would say, 'It's my gift for gab, I just love to talk,'" said Joan Horton, a friend, "She loved to talk."

Friends like Joan Horton worried about Emma living alone in this rambling three-story home, but she was at the center every day without fail, so everyone kept tabs on her. Last Tuesday morning, friends got concerned when the center bus driver arrived at Emma's home to pick her up.

1. Just heard about this

I listen to WINS news on the Tune In radio app all the time.

I am so sorry. This is awful.

I hope they catch whoever did it and put them under the jail. Forever.
