Emily, you were a kind and genuine friend. You weren’t afraid to ask hard questions. It seemed that you always had a smile on your face (even when the weather was miserable or the task difficult!). Your presence will be forever missed! Cal, sending hugs and prayers your way. I cannot even begin to comprehend your loss. Please reach out if you need anything!

Emily was an incredibly beautiful, passionate soul. I worked with her as a preschool photographer, and every time we worked together I was consistently blown away by her sheer dedication and love for all that she did. She left everyone and everything better than she found it, and was such an immense joy to be around. Truly a walking ray of sunshine. She will be missed dearly, and I wish peace and comfort for all her closest friends and family.

Loved your beautiful, infectious smile. Loved our debates. Loved your zest for life. Loved how much you cared for and helped others. Loved your love of animals and watching your interaction with them. The world will miss you Emily.

In our hearts forever!

Our hearts break at the news …
Our hearts break at the news of Emily Bensinger's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family. Emily was a beloved member of the IRR family and always showed kindness to everyone. She was the kind of person who broke expectations and pushed herself and those around her to be better. Emily will be greatly missed.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Emily. She was a beautiful soul. She’d always make me laugh at work. We shared tik toks about working in the ER and on the ambulance. We laughed about my MRI pictures because they looked so funny. She’d always talk about Cal, she loved him. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that Cal was her rock and her absolute world. She will be missed greatly.

Oh Emily, I cannot believe this is real. I love you sweet girl and always will. I am so thankful for the hours of time we spent on my carpet in my office just talking about life. You brought joy into everything you did and when I think of you I will always see your beautiful smile.
