Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we gather here today to celebrate the life and memory of our beloved Emma Jean. As we mourn her passing, let us honor her inspirational, humble life and the warm and loving memories she created for her family and all those fortunate enough to know her.

Emma Jean was the kind of grandmother we all aspire to be. Her days were filled with laughter and her wise and nurturing advice. She created a world of magic and adventure for her grandchildren, making sure that every moment spent in her company was extraordinary. Her creativity and love for life were boundless, and her ability to transform ordinary moments into cherished memories will live on in our hearts.

Emma Jean was a gardener of memories. Just like her beloved hummingbirds, she fluttered from task to task, never pausing for long, yet leaving a mark on everything she touched. Her hands were steadfast, whether she was cutting pizza with scissors, constructing paper ornaments, or tying a pair of small shoes. The scents of her home—the coffee she brewed and the treats she whipped up in the kitchen—still regain in our collective memories, comforting us in our sadness.

The love Emma Jean had for her family was immense, grounded in time-honored traditions. Christmas was a particularly magical time in her home. The decorations, the little presents tucked under the tree, the laughter shared over handmade ornaments, the family gathered together, and the joy of little hands unwrapping gifts—all are testament to her deep love for her family and the traditions that bind us together.
