Emily's obituary

Emily Irene Redmon died on February 4th, 2021 in her home at the age of 90 years. Emily was born on December 29th, 1930 in Trenary, Michigan, daughter of Itanna and Joseph Burns. She graduated with the Trenary High School class of 1950.
Emily and her husband Jim Redmon married in 1964 and together raised their total of 10 children. She spent a lifetime caring for others including running her own Adult Foster Care Home in Gobles, Michigan for many years.
In retirement, they found themselves back in Trenary where they made their home for the last 20+ years. Emily enjoyed working in her gardens, playing the guitar and singing, and of course taking care of her large family. She was always someone who was there to talk to and gave all her love to everyone.
