Emery was born in Missoula on April 17th, 2009. She was attending Glacier High School as a senior and loving every minute of it. She excelled in writing and was deeply interested in psychology. However, her favorite subject was Culinary Arts. She loved baking and all things culinary. She was so excited to be a teacher's aide for culinary in the coming weeks and eventually take Advanced Culinary.

Emery was a beautiful daughter, an exceptional sibling, and most of all a person who was full of light, love, and laughter. She loved all around her so loudly that the harsh noise of this world faded in the light of her eyes and the warmth of her embrace.

Emery was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Dick Denney, her cousin Sydney Davies, her maternal great-grandmother, Lorraine Burnham, paternal great-grandmothers Ethel McNett and Jean Denney. 

Emery is survived by her parents, Julianne and Aaron Deneny; her siblings, Joseph, Lorraine, Charlotte, and Benjamin; and a host of extended family members.

Emery will be remembered for her love of KPop, choreography, books, baking, helping and loving loudly all who crossed her path.

Friends of Emery and her family and family are invited to a celebration of life on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 12 p.m. at Glacier High School, 375 Wolfpack Way, Kalispell. 

Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home and Crematory is caring for the family.
