Emersyn (Emmy) Elizabeth Rowles

Born on February 8, 2006, Emmy was the oldest of three siblings and a radiant light from the very beginning. She was diagnosed with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T), a rare and life-long condition. At 13, she faced another challenge when she was diagnosed with leukemia. For nearly three years, Emmy fought with a strength and courage far beyond her years. Though her body grew tired, her spirit never did. A sophomore at Lewiston High School, Emmy was an adventurer, a warrior, and a giver of joy. She loved laughing, living fully, and giving everything she had to others. Emmy was her friend's biggest supporter, even when not feeling well she would come to games, cheer competitions and dance recitals. Her smile was contagious, her quick wit and sassiness made her one of a kind and her presence unforgettable. Emmy had a deep love for horses, her beloved doggies Sammy and Sage, the color pink, all kinds of music, and cheesecake. She could dominate a game of Clue, was a puzzle master, and could somehow win a game of War with her eyes closed. She adored roller coasters and the Pirate Ship, floating freely in the pool or at the beach, and blasting “Shut Up and Dance With Me” while showing off her best moves because yes, Emmy loved to boogie. In the winter, she loved building snowmen and making snow angels, and she screamed the loudest while sledding. She was a proud Special Olympian, and always up for a trip to the movie theater to catch the latest release. Emmy was surrounded by incredible friends who shared life’s milestones with her and treated her with genuine kindness, compassion, and tenderness. Emmy adored time with her friends and even through covid she found ways to make them laugh and smile. At home, Emmy treasured time with her siblings doing arts and crafts, playing endless board games, snuggling on the couch watching SpongeBob, playing dress-up, and taking long walks along nature trails. Whether it was seeing her at school, going on walks with her or just hanging out and laughing every moment with Emmy was unforgettable. Emmy was the best friend anyone could ever ask for, we miss you sweet girl. #Team Emmy.
