Emily Melissa Bruhn, aged 46, passed away on June 20, 2024, in Great Falls, Montana. She was born on October 21, 1977, in Tacoma, Washington to Thomas Bruhn and Karen Paul.
She attained her BSRN from Grand Canyon University and graduated from Helena College with an associate's degree. In high school Emily was part of the National Honors Society. She especially excelled in soccer and is in the Hall of Fame at Capital High School.
Emily wanted to be a nurse her whole life. She loved and cared for every one of her patients dearly. Emily loved her dog, Ziyou. She loved taking care of her and adventuring together. Emily was also an amazing artist and created beautiful masterpieces.
Emily is survived by her daughters, Kaitlin (Matt Sides) Agostinelli and Morgan Harris; sons, William (Nicole) Harris and Colton Harris; parents, Thomas Bruhn and Karen Paul; sister, Stacy Bruhn; brother, Matthew Bruhn; and three grandchildren, Marley, Theo, and Ophelia.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God [the universe, whatever it is you believe in my loved one]. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God [manifest the glory of this incredible world that amazes me every day from the way volcanoes roar and explode to the way the smallest chemical messengers in our brain are meant to work together] that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same [let your personal freak flag fly my love. I know I spent way too much of my life with mine carefully wrapped under my arm. Don't do this! Live and give those who see you, love you, and may even secretly admire you the guts to do the same!] As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." by Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" originally published in 1992 with personal remarks added by Emily M. Bruhn 10/29/2023

I enjoyed working with Emily at the hospital she was always a pleasant nurse and did her best to make sure her patients were satisfied. We would talk and laugh and even hug each other when we saw each other. She was always respectful and kind-hearted. I miss her very much and I am very saddened that she is no longer with us. My heart goes out to her family, you are all in my prayers.
