Emily was full of life and lit up a room with her smile when she walked in. Her free-spirited attitude was beloved by her family and friends. She lived her life full speed but took time to enjoy the beauty around her. She was happiest when she was surrounded by family and friends and spent countless hours with her nieces, and they adored her as Aunt Emmy. She loved to travel and enjoyed an annual trip to Mexico with her cousin Katie and other family members. She made every destination an adventure.  She enjoyed the outdoors and had developed quite an appreciation for learning more about plant life and loved to read.

Emily will live on in the hearts of her parents, Dawn (Larry Boumeester), and Reid (Lisa); sisters, Mollee (Kevin) Hendler, and Betsie (Maria) Ferguson; nieces and nephews, Scarlet, Holland, Aidan, and Charlie; step siblings, Tyler and Vanessa Boumeester, Chelsea Brock, and Breanna Olson; grandparents, Jim and Twyla Bavier, and Carol Ferguson; as well as many special aunts, uncles and cousins.
