Emily Woldt Obituary
Emily's passion for serving others was evident in the compassionate care she provided as a registered nurse. She cherished her time spent serving patients and families in Winona, MN, Milwaukee, WI, Bloomington, MN, and most recently started a new adventure as a travel nurse in Arizona. Although initially cautious about moving so far away from her family, she trusted in God's perfect guidance. He led her to Prescott, where she ended up finding a feeling of belonging with like-minded co-workers and roommates who welcomed her with open arms. She marveled at God's beautiful creation daily and was delighted to call Prescott her new home.
The love and joy Emily exuded each and every day was infectious. Her family, friends, co-workers, and patients can easily attest to the shining light Emily so effortlessly cast into every room she entered. She loved others for who they were and where they were at in life, no questions asked. Philippians 4:13 was her favorite bible passage, as her friends and family know. She used the assurance from that verse as her confidence in life. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Emily is survived by her parents Jon and Donna Woldt, brother Joshua Woldt, sisters Karen Brennhofer (Rick) and Anna Woldt (special friend Michael), niece and nephew Madison and Micah Brennhofer, as well as their new sibling (February 2024), maternal grandmother Karen Herman, and paternal grandmother Ruth Woldt. She is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Emily is preceded in death by her brother David Woldt, maternal grandfather Roger Herman, and paternal grandfather Alfons Woldt.
A Christian Memorial Service will be held at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Mankato, MN on August 26, 2023 at 11:00 AM (CST) to celebrate the life of Emily. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM (CST). The family invites everyone for food and fellowship at the church following the service. Any updates will be posted here.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, nor can they fill the massive hole in your hearts at this difficult time.
Emily was a shining light wherever she went and a truly wonderful friend. I can honestly say I have more than a few treasured memories with Emily and I will hold these memories close. She was one of my first friends at WLC - I had come all the way from California to play football and she was there for me when I was homesick and when I went through my first big long-distance breakup. We had countless scary movie nights and she helped get me the job at Mo’s Irish Pub. We bonded over the loss of our brothers. Emily was a truly special person and I hope these words reinforce to you that there are many, many other people out there who were touched by Emily and will miss her dearly.
You and Emily will be in my thoughts and prayers for a long time.

I worked with Emily when she was in school and working at Watkins Sr. Living /Adith Miller Manor in Winona. She was always such a sweet person and loved her residents and provided such great care for each one of them. She was a delight to have on our staff and I always looked forward to seeing Emily at work. When she moved to Prescott, I followed her adventures and hoped to meet up with her there - we winter in Mesa AZ and travelled to so many places Emily was exploring as a new resident to Arizona. May God hold you in his loving arms and provide comfort to you at this time of great loss losing such a precious daughter - Know that she touched so many lives!

Isaiah 57:1-2
1 The righteous perishes, And no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, While no one considers That the righteous is taken away from evil. 2 He shall enter into peace; They shall rest in their beds, Each one walking in his uprightness.

I had the honor of teaching her in class. She was always smiling and respectful. We rejoice in the message of a risen Savior...unfortunately through tears, which God will someday wipe away.

Dear Donna, Jon, and family,
We are saddened beyond belief. Our hearts are truly broken. Emily was such a gifted beautiful lady who will be deeply missed by everyone who was graced by her presence. Although we´ve known Emily for only a short time, we had the pleasure of spending Christmas together, my birthday, Kelly´s birthday, and a week together in Cabo San Lucas when Kelly and Emily joined us. Beautiful memories we will always cherish. Seemed as though she was already a member of our family. Her heart was filled with so much love and compassion for others and truly God centered always. She brightened the room like no one else. Emily was so sweet; we loved her and enjoyed her visits so much. She will be missed tremendously. Yet her beautiful infectious smile and love will be remembered always. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God be with all of you at this most difficult time and forever more.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4

Emily was my brothers nurse at Columbia St. Mary´s when he passed away and truly became like family to us. We will be forever great full to her for the love and care she showed not only him but us as a family. She became like a big sister to me and my heart is broken to hear she has now joined him, but I am so glad he will get to know her as we did. I am so sorry for your family´s loss, Emily was the most beautiful soul.

I met Emily at Harwood Place. We worked together. She was a beautiful soul. She was there for me when my Dad died. She stop into to talk to him while he was at the hospital. She will always have a special place in my heart. She will be remembered and missed. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Woldt family,
Our hearts ache for you. We cannot imagine your grief.
We adored Emily, and her beauty inside and out. She was a babysitter and Lucas and Jenna loved her. J called her the "size Emily," meaning the medium sized (aged) Emily in our lives.
She is home with Jesus and basking in his love and glory. I can´t wait to see her again there!
Hugs and prayers!
