It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Emma Spaniol on March 17, 2024. Born in 1942, Emma lived a rich, adventurous, and love-filled life, touching the hearts of everyone she met with her spunky and fun-loving spirit.
Emma's greatest accomplishment, and what she took her deepest pride in, was her family. She leaves behind her loving husband, Gary Spaniol, and their cherished children, Kelly McDonald, Karin Byrum ( Gary Byrum),Ellen Byers (Russ Byers), and Ted Varner (Amber Varner). As well as, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her strength, resilience, and unconditional love will forever remain in their hearts.
Emma was a hostess extraordinaire. An amazing cook who loved to get family and friends together. She loved to travel, camp, play cards, quilt, craft and connect with friends.
Her adventurous spirit, combined with a heart full of love, made her a magnet for anyone lucky enough to cross her path.
Emma's legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those touched by her extraordinary life. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered for her beloved spirit. As we mourn her passing, we also celebrate her life and the beautiful memories she leaves behind.
