Thinking of Emily’s family … the longer we have a parent the harder it seems to give them up. She was a dedicated librarian in Hartney School, and was always ready for a visit in her long retirement! Cherish your memories of a long healthy life!

Thank-you for sharing your mom with me all these years. I often think of the happy times spent at your home. She was one of my mom’s best friends. Emily was so talented from singing in the church choir, sewing, hairdressing, woodworking to working outside the home, and much more. It was a joy to know such a humorous, compassionate, and inspirational lady. You have many precious memories to hold forever.
