White Funeral Home - FarmingtonEmily Rankin Obituary
"Nana" was a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to all. She welcomed everyone with open arms into her home and made the best baked ziti and if a stray dog came by, guaranteed they would have a home! Emily's smile, helping heart, and southern charm melted the hearts of every person she met. She will be dearly missed until we see her again. We love you Nana.
Survived by son Steve (Kari); Grandchildren; Tanner (Bailey), Tyler, Autumn, Lauren, Emma and 2 Great-Grandchildren.
