Emily K. Hilgers

Our sympathy to Emily’s family and friends…. Emily showed such great strength, dignity, and positivity throughout this challenge. Fly high, Em!!

Emily will be deeply missed by our family and by every wagging tail that ever wandered into her yard. She wasn’t just a neighbor-she was the kind of person who made a place feel like home. Our dogs and foster dogs adored her, always happy to see her, and loved the attention that she gave them.
Summer won’t feel the same without seeing her in her garden, tending to her flowers, and making the neighborhood a little brighter with her care and kindness. She was a beautiful soul and the best neighbor anyone could hope for. We were so lucky to live beside her for the past ten years. Her warmth and friendship will always be remembered.

Thinking of Emily’s warm heart and the quiet dignity with which she endured the health storm which buffeted her. May she garden the cosmos with joy eternal.
