Emily Siemens Obituary
Emily is survived by her parents, Ernie and Elizabeth, her brothers Jacob and Nicholas, extended family, including her Grandma, Oma, Opa, aunts, uncles, and countless cousins, and her boyfriend, Jackson. Her family and friends will forever cherish Emily's golden curls, boisterous spirit, infectious laugh, and unforgettable smile.
Emily was a full-time student at UBC studying Psychology, while also finding joy and fulfillment in her work as a dedicated nanny caring for "her children" and "her cat".
In her free time, Emily loved to travel. She explored Canada, Arizona and Hawaii, and ventured abroad to Europe and the Philippines. Emily adored the Rainbow Beach family summer cabin on Saltspring Island, and was always keen to spend time at the Sunshine Valley family winter cabin.
Emily held a deep and abiding love for Jesus, and her family finds solace in knowing that she is now with Him.
A small invitation only family focused memorial service for Emily on December 7, 2023 will be livestreamed on YouTube at bit.ly/emilymemorial Thank you for understanding that the immediate family wishes to grieve privately at this time.

Please join us in remembering and celebrating the life of Emily Grace Siemens. She blessed the lives of so many with her vivacious spirit and will be deeply missed. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Dear Siemens Family,
I taught Emily in Grade Three. I remember her infectious smile and little giggle. She was a passionate athlete and an inquisitive learner. My heart aches for you all. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Emily was the most spirited and funny individual who I remember always marching to the beat of her own drum, completely unashamedly. I remember fondly the time I house-sat the Siemens household when Ernie and Elizabeth went on vacation, and had the pleasure of waking up one morning to the mischievous grins of Emily and Nicholas saying "Guess what we did last night?" They told me in great detail (with photo evidence!) how Emily had covertly acquired a rope ladder off Amazon and showed how they had secured it to her bed that night, ordered McDonald´s delivery, and then climbed out her second story window to retrieve it on the porch (only to be caught halfway down by the delivery driver asking if they were the ones who had ordered the McFlurries and fries) :) I was surprised but honestly just told them to invite me next time. Emily always had her eye on the next adventure, and I knew once she found it she´d be sure to invite Nicholas along with her. They had the sweetest bond that always warmed my heart. Emily, you´ll be dearly missed. I hope there´s a huge party happening in Heaven with all the cyclone popsicles you can eat :)

My heart goes out to Emily's family in this time of grief. To lose such a beautiful soul too soon is beyond devastating, and I'm truly so sorry. Every time Jackson brought Emily to come see our family, I could see how happy she made him and how much they loved each other. Emily would have added and warmed any family she entered, and we were all so excited to see her be a part of ours. The way he would talk about her, the happiness and love she left him, I had no doubt in my mind she really loved and cared about him. Jackson is such a genuine and kind hearted person, and to see him be loved so much by someone so sweet and wonderful made me so happy for him. If I could say anything to Emily, I would truly thank her for loving my brother so completely, he knew how much she cared for him and I know he will carry that with him always. And thank you for your unwavering faith, the hope for something better will forever give hope and light to those who knew you. If I was ever to be remembered, I would truly want my life and my influence to be as beautiful as yours. Although this world can be so dark and so unfair, the love and hope you left behind you will last an eternity.

When I think of Emily, I think of her smile, her laugh, her adventurous spirit. Our family met Emily when we lived across the street for three and a half years. She was an amazing friend to my kids, Alexa and Jimmy, while we lived in Vancouver and the years that followed. She will always be in our hearts and memories- jumping on the trampoline, going for walks, playing games, building forts, cuddling the cat, laughing, being silly, jumping off the dock, playing in the forest. Elizabeth, Ernie, Jacob, Nicholas, the love you all had for Emily and she had for you was evident. Sending our deepest condolences.

At every family gathering, God always had a divine appointment between Emily and I. Whether it was a conversation seemingly small and irrelevant, we always had a special connection that was deeper than just surface level.
I look forward to continue our divine appointments in the New Jerusalem where we will celebrate our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for eternity together.

To Emily, Not enough time to get to know you. My dear little Emily. But by your loving kindness you fit into our family. By your infectious smile. I loved you right away. Looking forward to becoming your grandma. I would protect you all the way. By your silly antics. I seen you having fun. And new immediately. You would prove to be the one. I seen a perfect match. Both so full of life. It was very evident. You would become Jack´s wife. I seen the love in. My grandson´s eyes. Every time he looked at you. Now he only cries. But we know there is a future Where love will only grow. We´ll see your face again. You will be all a glow. You´ll be back together. Never to be a part. You´ll be in a new world. And given a fresh start. You´ll play with the animals. And have your own home. You´ll always be together. And never again be alone. My grandson will be waiting. To welcome you again. In a New World. Only life will be our friend. But, now we have to wait For just a little while. Before we see again. That infectious smile. Love, Jackson Gramma.

First time I met Emily Jack brought her over in the morning. I just got out of bed , pyjamas on and all ,as I went to meet them at the door. What a beautiful smile I was met with ,how could you not love somebody like that, right at hello. Of course we had to have a picture right then and there as they were in a hurry and I convinced them both to stay for breakfast, so here we are making bacon sandwiches watching ,Emily help make them with me , as they got ready to leave out the door for the ventures of the day. Was so nice to meet her. I´ve talked to her on the phone a few times and was always left with the feeling of joy as she was such an uplifting person. We made plans last time they came to my house to grab the bag in a bag to stay at Jack sisters house. To go sledding at my acreage,when we finally get snow after Christmas. She will be missed greatly by all, and will always be avoid in our lives,... My prayers and condolences to all the family and friends and the people that loved her so deeply, it´s going to be a long run. We will remember her in our minds , in our dreams, and when we look into the sunshine..How could she ever be forgotten, such a beautiful soul. It was an honour to meet her and she´ll be greatly missed... so we had to add a new addition to the family, and she was named after Emily, a great tribute, a beautiful husky that her and Jack always wanted. She would have no other dog so Jack says. once again was such an honour to meet her.

From the first time meeting Emily with Jack I could tell she was a very genuine and caring person. One thing I admired was she shared the same adventures spirit as Jack does and that in my eyes they were very compatible in a number of ways.
Although I had only met her a couple times in person I have been deeply affected by her early passing and will miss the chance to know her better.

I met Emily at the POLGA´s and I´m the Grandmother of Luca and Ilaria. They all loved her so much; she was part of their family. Emily was a beautiful soul and she will be missed so much. The kids always asked when Emily was coming-she took the best care of them and the memories will forever be cherished.

Liz,Ernie,Jacob,and Nicholas. Emily always had a big beautiful smile on her face every time we saw her and got to spend time with her. We feel blessed we shared some summer PB time with her this year. Lots of laughs and then a big swim to cool off. ( of course) Emily will forever be a vibrant inquisitive energetic young lady to us

Emily was a good friend in highschool and I´ll never forget her contagious laughter and free spirit. She always knew how to light up a room and through the few years we remained friends after she was always sure to check up on me and ask how I was doing every so often. May she rest in peace
