Emma was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, and a fierce ally. She was a dedicated advocate for community, actively leading the way for positive change by supporting local organizations, bringing people together, using her voice to speak out against injustice, and fight for social equality. She was so loved and respected by so many. In her free time, Emma found joy in nature, music, dancing at Levitt AMP concerts, and spending time with family and friends. Her passion will continue to inspire us to work to love one another and make Springfield a wonderful place to live.

Resistor Sisterhood
The Resistor Sisters lost a Sister Tuesday night. Our dear Emma was taken too soon. Our hearts are broken, and we are still struggling to come to terms with the fact that she is gone. Emma was always such a joy to be around. She always seemed like she was “Walking on Sunshine” and had a big smile on her face for everyone. She was a positive source of energy and love. Emma and Resistor Sister Kim were best friends, together constantly and always looking to fight the good fight. We all loved her like family. Building community was so very important to Emma – a community of love and respect, where everyone could come together and share their thoughts, ideas, goals and dreams, and make the world a better place for all. Emma knew a lot of people due to her work and volunteer experiences, her travels around the world, and her generous kind heart. She was well-known for her one-on-one meet ups at Whimsy Tea or Café Moxo, where you would just talk together and come up with some really cool ideas. A social justice activist, Emma advocated for many causes: environmental justice, helping immigrants who land in Springfield, supporting the LGBTQ+ community, fighting for women’s rights and bodily autonomy. Emma hadn’t been an “official” Resistor Sister and part of our Leadership Council for long, but we all loved her and knew the light she carried would reach far and wide. We plan to continue doing Emma’s good work. Rest in Peace, Sister

Emma and I were roommates when we studied abroad in the Dominican Republic and got to know each other on that trip. She was so kind and upbeat and such a ray of sunshine in this world. She always had the group laughing out loud and was always making sure everyone was included. I am sending so much love to Emma’s family. We all loved her so much.

I met Emma at a Coral event. She just came up and started talking to me and it felt like had run into a tornado of joy and love. She told me to live life as my true self and to be happy. I wish I had gotten to know her better. It’s wonderful and unusual to meet someone so friendly and joyful. Heaven has gotten a real natural angel.

I had the privilege of knowing Emma her entire life as a child of WPC. From my earliest memories of her as a little girl, she always had a bright and beautiful face with so much love in her heart for everyone. Emma could light up a room with her bubbly personality and welcoming spirit. It was a delight to see her grow up singing in the children’s choirs, participating in youth mission trips, and getting to hear her beautiful voice sing in the sanctuary. I always knew that she would grow up to do wonderful things. We were all blessed when she came home to begin her work in the community after graduating from college. We were all blessed with her bright and shining light.

Emma has always been a constant in my life since I was young. The love she showed me as a scared little second grader starting theatre pushed me to keep acting and doing what I love. I’ll never forget the love, laughs, and advice Emma gave me as a child. I was thinking about all the ways how she impacted my life and was reminded of a “script” we made for a fake wedding between Emma and my brother during our first show together. We had planned to hold a cross dressed wedding during the period between our school shows. She never failed to make everyone smile and laugh, Im so lucky to be able to say I knew her.
