She was a devoted grandmother doing everything she could for her grandchildren.

She was an amazing sister staying close to her siblings and trying to always be there for them.

She was a supportive auntie that her nieces and nephews knew they could always call.

She was an unshakable friend that treated her friends like family.

Emily loved God and loved to travel, watch Broadway shows and musicals and go up the hill with family and friends but most of all help others get through the hard times in their lives.

Most had no idea what an amazing life she lived but if you asked her. She would say spending time with friends and family was her favorite thing to do.

The family doesn't ask for anything except what she would want.

To just be remembered as a mother, grandmother sister, auntie, and friend and for them to never forget how much she loved them.
