On March 18 our mother, Mary,  passed away into God’s graces after a brief battle with lung cancer. A warrior throughout life, she was 56 years old. She is survived by many loving individuals, including her beloved Chihuahua, Camouflage as well as her partner Russell, and her recovery group,  of whom mom spoke of as family and considered to be her greatest accomplishment in life.  She was predeceased by her two brothers, Wayne and Bobby Emmons and her sister-in- law, Chris. Mom wished for her body to be cremated. A memorial service and celebration of life is being planned and will be live-streamed so that all will be able to attend.  We will update our memorial website with that info as soon as we have it.
