Emily Hodder Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Georgia Cremation - Duluth on Jan. 21, 2026.
Emily Hodder (4/15/1965 – !/14/2026) passed away peacefully with her family surrounding her. Leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion to her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She is preceded in death by her mother, Sharon, her father Bill, and her younger sister Tammy. Whom she now joins in eternal rest.

She is survived by her three children, Johnny Hodder, Danielle Bernardino (Joe), and Jennifer Hodder. All of whom were her pride and joy. Emily was also a cherished grandmother to four grandchildren, Mason, Perry, Sean, and Morgan, each of whom brought her immense happiness and purpose. Emily is also survived by her two siblings, Bill McCracken (Kate), Michelle Weaver (Jonathan), with whom she shared a strong bond, and two roommates that she deeply cared for. Many Nieces and Nephews also survive.

Emily will be remembered for her caring heart and her unwavering love for her family. Emily loved music of all kinds, especially country, for hours on end. She also loved watching all of the reruns of The Golden Girls every evening. Her memory will live on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely.

Fly high, our angel.
