Emily Katherine Greening-Oftedal

Emily Katherine Greening-Oftedal was born June 24, 1980, in South Korea. She came home to her loving and anxiously-waiting mom and dad, Roger and Ann Greening, on March 9, 1981. Emily, 41, was taken from us on November 21, 2021.

"We carry your heart within us, Emily, and are never without you anywhere."

Emily was graduated from Clovis High School and later earned her cosmetology and barbering licenses. She was most recently teaching barbering at Institute of Technology in Clovis. This was the perfect path for Emily, as she had an uncanny attention to detail with fashion, accessorizing, and style.

Emily leaves behind her beloved and cherished daughter, Meleena Anne Oftedal and Meleena's dad, Daniel Blake Oftedal. Emily and Dan shared with us the most beautiful gift of Meleena Anne.

Emily was loved by her loyal little sister, Aileen Elizabeth Greening, and by Dan's family: Judy and Randy Oftedal and Martin, Trent and Hudson Barry Oftedal. Emily will be missed by many marvelous aunts, uncles and cousins. Emily's memory will also be treasured by her dear colleagues and students who were so special to her.

A private goodbye will be held for family. Remembrances may be given to the Fresno County Public Library, a favorite spot for Emily, Meleena and Dan.
