Upon their return they moved to LeRoy, NY, where Emily worked for the Girl Scouts and then as an admissions counselor at Genesee Community College. During their time in LeRoy, Emily completed her Masters in Public Administration at SUNY Brockport. In 2005 the couple moved to Kansas City, MO, where Emily was a guidance counselor and instructor at the University of Missouri. In 2007, following the birth of their son Nathan, they moved to Trumansburg, NY, where Emily was an active volunteer at the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes, the Jacksonville Community Church, and Trumansburg Elementary School. In 2017 the family moved to Beaver Falls, NY.

So sorry to hear of Emily's passing. She was such a sweet girl remembering her being so young and taking part in Christmas celebrations with office staff at her Mother's home many years ago. We are praying for her family.
