For 32 years I considered it a privilege to have been Emily's neighbor & hopefully friend. What a unique & feisty lady who stood up for her beliefs. She was so far ahead of womans lib. We have lost a valuable connection to the history of Warms Springs. She had so many colorful stories of the area at the same time being so modest of her accomplishments. Emily you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace

For 32 years I have considered it a privilege to have been Emily's neighbor & hopefully friend. What a unique fiesty lady who took a stand for issues she believed in & was soooo ahead of Womans Lib. We have lost a valuable connection to the colorful history of Warm Springs. She was full of wonderful stories of the past(but also very modest where her accomplishments were concerned).
Emily you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.

Although I live in Texas now, I have enjoyed talking with Emily, Ed and John whenever I came back for visits and we would all go out for breakfast. Will miss those times when I return in the future. Osarr
