Emily Dabrowski Obituary
Charlton - Emily Irene Dabrowski, 17, passed away on Friday, Jan. 6th, in the UMass Medical Center, University Campus, Worcester, from rare complications related to Mononucleosis.
She leaves her father, David W. Dabrowski and his fiancé Lori Gooch of Charlton; her mother, Diane M. (Carpentier) Dabrowski and her companion Peter Rotondo of Charlton; her brother, Joseph E. Dabrowski of Charlton; her step-brother, Calvin Fullerton of Charlton; her step-sister, India Fullerton of Charlton; her paternal grandmother, Irene (Borowski) Dabrowski of Oxford; her maternal grandparents; Armand and Irene (Niehues) Carpentier of Charlton; 11 aunts and uncles, Eric Dabrowski, Paul Dabrowski, Karen Monahan, Linda O'Neil, Paul Carpentier, Michelle Leufstedt, John Carpentier, Julie Carpentier and David Carpentier; and many cousins. She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather, Louis Dabrowski. Emily was born in Worcester on Jan. 21, 1999.
Emily's life should be celebrated for the beauty, kindness, and humor she brought to all who knew her. She had a deep passion for the orphaned children of Haiti, where she volunteered annually, was symbolic of her unselfish depth of character. She was a senior at Shepherd Hill High School and planned to attend college in the fall to further her plans to help others. Always active outdoors, Em loved lake sports, hiking, and snowboarding. She was a talented volleyball player for Shepherd Hill High School and Eastern Connecticut Volley Ball Club. She was a proud employee of D'Angelo sandwich shop in Auburn. Em will be deeply missed by her dozens of friends, teachers, coaches, the "Polish Posse" girls, and especially by her loving and close-knit family.
Her funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 11th, at 10:00am in St. Joseph's Church, 10 H. Putnam Rd. Ext., Charlton. Burial will be in West Ridge Cemetery, Charlton. Calling hours for Emily will be held in St. Joseph's Church on Tuesday, Jan. 10th, from 4:00 to 7:00pm.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in memory of Emily to help the children of Haiti by giving to Free the Kids, 5704 W. Market St. #8947, Greensboro, NC 27419 or online at www.freethekids.org.

Diane, This is one of the reasons I had retired early in my career at 52 years of age, was to donate my time to Kids with Cancer and other childhood foundations. Staying strong is what we are told, but children or young adults who are suffering and loss of life is the end result, I am at a lost for words. Diane you are amazing as to how your presentation went at the graduation..Your strength and Dave is amazing, but I made it my mission in life now to support the young adult or child who are ill, by donating funds or my personal being to be supportive of their needs by interacting with them.

Diane, Dave, and Joe-
We can't begin to imagine what you are feeling, but let us share our heart-felt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Emily was a beautiful young lady with love for others and smile that lit up a room. She was one of the first friends Lexi made when we moved here in 2005. Their antics and silliness, trips between houses, overnights and all, will live on forever in our memories and our hearts. As an angel in heaven, may she watch over you and all of those she loved.
Love,
Hilary, Lexi and Gabrielle

Thank you all for your condolences. The community outreach has been astounding! We sincerely appreciate every prayer from you. Our hearts are forever broken. I truly believe Emily is living in Heaven and taking care of more children than she ever imagined. I picture her with children sitting in her lap getting hugs, walking along side of her holding her hand or trying to teach her a part of their culture that she craved to learn about. Thank you and may God Bless you and your family. Emily's Mom.

My heart aches for all of you.
In the world of modern medicine it is unfathomable that such a beautiful, young soul could die from rare complications of a common disease.
As a Mom who has also lived to bury a daughter, I know the pain you are feeling. Nothing in this life will ever come close to the loss you have had.
I pray that love & happy memories help in some small way to bring you peace in the difficult days ahead.
May God bless you all.
I believe you have a very special Guardian Angel to watch over you all...all the days of your lives. Until you are all together again.
Rest in Peace Emily.

To Emily's parents, family, and all who love her,
We are so very saddened by Emily's passing. Our kids are peers with her at school. Her loss is deeply felt by all. It is said that "the measure of life is not its duration, but its donation". Emily is such proof of this. Rest assurred that she held you in her arms and carried your love with her...and when she arrived to God, your images were imprinted on her joy filled soul. We pray for your peace, strength, comfort, and resolve. Always remember, love is eternal and families are forever.

I can't even put into words how sorry I am for the loss of your daughter, Emily.
She is obviously a young lady that was not only beautiful on the outside, but equally as beautiful on the inside due to her selflessness with the time she gave to the orphans in Haiti .
Emily was a gift from God to spread her much needed goodness here and now heaven is lucky to have gained another angel.

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your beloved Em whose tragic death at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses.
We ask for God's blessings on your family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence by remembering you do not walk alone.
In deepest sympathy.
