Maria Emmerson, 58 years young, returned to his heavenly home on March 5th, 2019 after a valiant battle with her Cancer. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately it gave her peace.

Maria was born to the late Janice Lee Bonneywell. Who passed in August of 2016 but lived on through her daughters Maria, Katherine, Jeanette, and Maryann and her sons, Dennis and Daniel.

Maria was blessed with a large and loving family. She married her best friend and love of her life, Curtis James Emmerson, on December 21st, 1991 in Seattle, WA. Maria was an amazing wife, mother, and homemaker. She adopted and raised her daughters Marisa Emmerson and Angela Emmerson with her husband Curt, both with patience, discipline and humility. She taught us everything we needed to know to grow up to be kindhearted, decent, hardworking, strong, independent women.

We often took family trips dirt bike riding or to soccer tournaments. Family was her life. She also often took us to trips to the woodland park zoo and of course what was a trip to see the animals without Dicks burgers. From the very beginning, she dedicated herself and her children to God and encouraged them to explore the beauty of the gospels and the wonder that God can bring. Even in the hard times (Which she had more than her fair share) She would say God never gives us more than we can handle, just like her mother taught her.

Maria was a compassionate person at heart. She was kind and soft-spoken, and always had time to answer a question or solve a problem, no matter how small. She is dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she is finally at peace after a long long battle with cancer. She has had 2 battles with breast cancer and after 10 years of being cancer free, she was diagnosed with Angiosarcoma of the breast as a result of the 2nd round of treatment with the radiation, her time table was 6 months to a year but Mother was a fighter and made it 14 more months!

Maria is survived by her husband, Curt Emmerson; her daughters Marisa Sherfield and Angela Emmerson. Her son in law Steven Sherfield and the fur babies Benson, Lexus, and Leila. Her sisters, Katherine Thompson, Jeanette Lamont, and Maryann Lehtinen as well as her brothers Dennis and Daniel Lehtinen. She will be missed by her nieces and nephews and their children; Denise, Shawnna, Shane, Zac, Micheala, Austin, Evan, Shelby, and Sophia. As well as her in laws her sister in law; Kristi, brother in law; Bill, and her Father in law; Ken. She is preceded in death by her mother, Janice Bonneywell and her beloved animals Moka, Misty, and Fluff.

Maria will be buried at Mount Carmel Cemetery, as of now we do not anticipate a date for that as father would like to keep her remains with him. However, we will have a celebration of life at the Emmerson residence at 12:30 pm on Sunday the 31st of March. It is a potluck and you’re welcome to bring a dish or just yourself. There will be more information at Mothers website which is https://everloved.com/life-of… .The family gratefully accepts donations, flowers, condolences and memories are gladly accepted.
