Together they had four children. Emee was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in the Relief Society and Young Women’s programs, but her heart was always in the Primary with the little children. Emee was the physical embodiment of motherhood. All of her time, energy, and love was invested in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was famous for being the grandma who got down on the floor with her grandkids to play checkers, dress up Barbies, or to read together. She was always willing to be silly and fun, finding joy in the antics of small children. Antics that she used her whole life to make others laugh. Emee believed in the power of laughter, fun, and family. Toward the end of her life, Emee found joy in being driven around by her committed and loving son Steve.
