Emma Milkeraitis

I lived as her neighbor for many years and she was always so sweet and kind. Encouraging me to get involved in things. This year I have been doing more within my community and I am thankful for her encouragement. I will miss her stories and her joy to life.

This is the Emma that I have had the pleasure of knowing and growing to love. You remain resolute and steadfast even until death. I am so proud of you. You have moved on but you have left us much richer and happy yo have been a part of your journey. All my love ..

I also worked with Emma in the early 1990's at Alyeska Pipeline. She had a passion for protecting the environment, and was not afraid to speak out.

Did not know Emma but wish I had....she actually did what I wished I would do presented the same challenge. God bless her on her that eternal journey.

I didn't know you Emma, but I sure wish I did! May this next part of your journey be just as amazing!

I know her pressence will be missed at the Bartlett Club meetings. She was a woman that had strong convictions and was not afraid to express them. I hope she found comfort and solace in her...

Emma and I worked for Alyeska Pipeline in the field - me as a Safety Specialist and Emma as a Technician. Both of us being one of the few women working in a predonimately man's environment and loving our work. Since my job consisted of lots of driving on the Haul Road and visiting Pump Stations on my 800 mile route, I spent little time in one place. So arriving at the Pump Station when Emma was on shift was a real blessing and treat. I had a woman to talk to who enjoyed life, had a great...
