Emily Baum Obituary
Emily Dawn Baum, 19, passed away Dec. 22, 2017, at Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Emily was born in Rexburg, Idaho, and lived in various states, including Idaho, Utah, Virginia and Florida. She was the daughter of Lynette Baum Iverson from Ashton, Idaho. Emily graduated from North Fremont High School in Ashton and was attending Utah State University. During the summers, Emily would come home from college to work for the family business running shuttles for fly fisherman.
Emily was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a deep love for the Savior and his gospel. She enjoyed being with family, especially her nieces and nephews. She loved running shuttles for fisherman and was starting her collection of fly fishing gear for her new-found hobby. She loved playing sports including soccer, basketball, volleyball and especially softball. Emily will be remembered for her continuous bright smile and happy countenance that lit up a room. She also had a soft spot for special needs children and often volunteered with special needs activities at Utah State University. She was loved by so many for her kindness, happy disposition and compassion for others.
Emily was survived by her mother, Lynette Baum Iverson; stepfather, James Joseph Iverson; sister, Audrey Lynn Vega; brother-in-law, Joel Vega; sister, Kelley Boisvert; brother-in-law, Daniel Boisvert; sister, Blanca Isabel Mazo; stepfather, Eloy Mark Mazo; sister, Christine Brianne Hill Lydiksen; brother-in-law, Thomas Lydiksen; brother, Nathan Grant Hill; sister, Lauren Grace Hill; sister, Madelyn Hill; and brother, Charles G Hill.

As a member of the LDS Branch that serves the Huntsmans Cancer Center, several branch members had the opportunity to interact with Emily, Lynette, and family. Emily is truly a remarkable daughter of God. Her courage, love for others, and understanding of the Plan of Salvation were unquestionable. Her ability to emulate the Savior by looking outward by building and supporting the faith of us was beyond admiration. Branch members who visited Emily and Lynette came away with more belief, more hope and more faith in a Loving Heavenly Father that has a plan for His children who are eternal beings. We miss the hugs that we received from Emily but know that she is not far away. We thank God for knowing her for such a brief minute on this side of the veil. We love you Lynette and wish our Heavenly Fathers comfort and blessing to rest upon you and your family.

I'm heartbroken to hear that Emily has passed away. I was so hopeful that she would beat this. She was so sweet, kind and strong. I only got to meet her one day as I was her nurse. She cried when I told her about my grandpa and how much he had meant to me when she had asked about my watch. She had this light in her that just made you want to make her feel better. Life is so hard sometimes. And sometimes we only get to have the people we love the most for a short time. I wanted to tell Lynette that I'm so sorry for yours and your families loss. Thank you for letting me take care of Emily for one day. She made a big impact on my heart.
