Cherished daughter of Timothy M. and Dibi Estelle Lay; dear sister of Kori Paige Lay and Carter Bradford Lay; loving granddaughter of Mark Lay, Kevin & Janet (Estelle) Clark and Regina Lay; beloved niece, cousin, and friend to everyone she met.
Emili was tiny but lived larger than life. She taught us to slow down and appreciate the smallest things and to give a smile to everyone. Emili had the most contagious smile and giggle that would brighten your day. She was loved by everyone who ever met her and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
