A Life Well Spent

Emily was a member of Life Changing Ministry and a 2006 graduate of Union High School. She had a contagious laugh, and she had a pure heart of gold and the most beautiful soul.

She enjoyed spending time with her husband, kids, big sister Jessica,  niece Iyana and great nephew Jaiden whom she called her “Lubbit Baby”.
