She is also survived by her mothers, Denny Ramsey (Barb), Nancy McKee (MJ) and Robin Rutz; sisters, Kathryn Silver (Joel) and their 2 children, Samantha and Gavin; Anya Rutz; and her brother, Spencer Smith; as well as many aunts including her beloved Aunt Joan, uncles and cousins who loved her.
Emily graduated from Washtenaw Community College with an Associate's Degree in Nursing in December 2014 and from University of Michigan with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing in 2017. She worked in the University of Michigan Psychiatry Department. Emily was extremely proud of her Nursing Career and her accomplishments in earning her BSN degree and was an excellent nurse who advocated for her patients with mental health issues.
Emily was active in the Recovery Community in Ann Arbor. There are women who are alive today because Emily was their Sponsor or friend. She had many such friends who adored her and who are thankful that she was in their lives.
Emily loved life, she was vibrant and energetic. She loved animals, especially horses and dogs. For the last 12 years, her Boston Terrier, Omar, went everywhere that Emily went. When he died late last year, a part of her died with him.
Emily had a rare combination of intelligence, physical strength and skills, creativity, artistic ability, cooking/baking skills and near photographic memory. She used those skills to decorate two houses and made them homes for her family. Emily could write extremely well and draw and sew. She was so talented, and no project was too big for her. She was constantly planning her next project or outing. She loved adventures and took her children on as many as she could. She loved her family, holidays, decorating, and friends but Miles and Zoe were her pride and joy. She wanted to give them the best that life had to offer.
Emily will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She was a brightly burning star whose light was extinguished too early.
