Emelia Dassler was born Amalie Röber in New York City on 17 November 1859. Her parents were August Roeber and his wife Emelia, both dead by 1935. Her name is written Amalie at her wedding, Amelia in the censuses of 1900 and 1910, Emelie in 1915 and Emelia in 1920 and 1930, and her obituary gives her as Emelia D. Dassler.

On 9 August 1881, aged twenty-two, she married Henry W. Dassler at Newark, New Jersey. She had come to New Rochelle about 1880 and lived there fifty-five years. Her husband, a carpenter and builder, was elected a city assessor in 1899. They raised eleven children who appear in the censuses: Hulda, Alberta, Amelia, Richard, Lydia, Dorothy, Clifford, Condit, Wanda, Beatrice and Henry Jr. Beatrice was born on 3 May 1899. She belonged to St. John's Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1930 she was seventy, living in New Rochelle in her husband's household. Her daughter Beatrice Dalrymple and two of Beatrice's daughters, Joan and Joy, were living with them, and so were her daughter Wanda, Wanda's husband William Peterson and their son.

By 1935 she and Henry had moved to 27 Holly Place, Larchmont, in the town of Mamaroneck. She died at home there on 28 October 1935, after a short illness, in her seventy-sixth year. The funeral was held at the house on the Thursday afternoon, with the Rev. Dr. George Ellsworth Bishop of St. John's officiating, and she was buried in Beechwoods Cemetery, New Rochelle. Her husband, six daughters, three sons and sixteen grandchildren survived her.
