A devoted wife, Emily was truly fulfilled in life, finding joy and happiness with the love of her life, George whom she was married for over 40 years. Together they enjoyed their children, grandchildren and their group of friends with many backyard celebrations including various “road trips”.
Emily loved to cook for family and friends and will be remembered for all her various dishes, specifically her chorizo and peppers and her clam boils, there was not a dish she could not whip up for any occasion including fundraisers at the local clubs.
