Emma M. DeSmith

Emma Michelle DeSmith, 15, was granted her angel wings on the evening of November 15, 2014 at her home in Hudson.  In her final days, she was surrounded by many friends and family, which her gentle heart had touched throughout her short, but memorable life.

Emma was born on May 28th, 1999 in Hudson, Wisconsin.  She attended North Hudson Elementary School in the Gateway program for 7 years.  She was currently a student at the Hudson Middle School. 

Emma enjoyed swimming, playing with her favorite toys, going to Brewer games with her family, strolling the malls with mom, and her nightly cuddle with dad before bed.  Her smile could melt the hearts of those around her and though she never spoke a word, her voice and thoughts could always be heard.  With her courage she leads us to believe that everyday is a blessing. 

Emma was preceded in death by her Grandpa Bud DeSmith and Uncle Steve DeSmith. 

Emma is survived by her mom and dad, Mike and Dawn DeSmith; brother, Logan Snyder; sister, Laura DeSmith; Grandma Marlys DeSmith, Grandma Sandy Gillis, Grandpa Don Gillis, Uncle Lindy and Aunt Sue Johnson, Uncle Dan and Aunt Julie DeSmith, Uncle Wally and Aunt Deb Graf, Uncle Scott and Aunt Gail Gillis, Aunt Shannon DeSmith, Uncle Jeff Lantis, and Uncle Don Gillis.  She is also survived by cousins; Andy, Matt (Kerry) Johnson, Betsy (Pete) Zomok, Amber (Kevin) Jenni, Adam Graf, Alyssa, Robb, Tyler, Maddie and Tessa DeSmith, Aidan Zomok, Connor and Kendall Johnson, Camryn and Josie Jenni.  She is also survived by many other loving relatives and friends.

We would like to thank her wonderful and caring home care nurses Karin and Peggy; as well as Adoray Hospice nurses Mary Ellen, Nancy, and Jean.  Throughout the years she experienced great care from many excellent physicians, nurses, therapists, and educators and we will be forever grateful.

A funeral service for Emma will be held Wednesday, November 19, 2014 at 11:00am at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1250 Broadway St., Hammond, WI.  Visitation will be held Tuesday, November 18, 2014 from 4-8pm at Trinity Lutheran Church and also Wednesday from 10-11am.  Casket bearers will be Andy Johnson, Matt Johnson, Adam Graf, Robb DeSmith, Tyler DeSmith, and Carl Moll.  A private burial will take place at St. Bridget’s Cemetery in River Falls.
