In her last year, she moved from Florida back to Michigan to be nearer to family. The family extends heartfelt thanks to Traditions and Transitions Hospice of Saginaw for her final care and comfort.
She is survived by her son, Christopher Bessenecker; her sister, Wanda Warezak; her brothers, Hylon Heaton III and Wendall (Chip) Heaton, and his wife Vickie; as well as many nieces, nephews, and their children.
A private family memorial will be planned in her hometown of Boyne City this summer.
Monetary memorial donations on behalf of Emilie can be sent to:
Traditions of Saginaw 5155 McCarty Rd., Saginaw, MI 48603
Transitions Hospice Care 6907 Westside Saginaw Rd., Bay City, MI 48706
