Emilia worked for a retail store as an operator out of high school. She also worked at K-mart, a receptionist for the Wyandotte County District Attorney's office and retired from TJ Maxx. Emilia loved baseball. It was part of her life as a child watching her brothers play, then watching her husband play professionally. She hit ground balls and pitched batting practice to her three boys, and proudly watched as two followed their father‘s footsteps to play professionally. Her love for all sports showed as she supported all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren in any sporting endeavor they chose to participate in.
Emilia asks that we not mourn her passing, but remember the joy and passion in which she lived her life.
This is where the cowboy rides away...
