It is with broken hearts that we announce Emily’s passing on June 22, 2015 at The Carpenter Hospice at the age of 27. Cherished daughter of Dave (Elaine) and Kathy (Joseph). Unbelievable sister to Crissy (Bill), treasured Aunt Emmy to Brooklyn, devoted granddaughter to Bruce and Miriam Macdonald, and loving stepsister to Matt, Kate and JR. Predeceased by her grandparents Marion Macdonald, and Bill and Mary Gallagher. Deeply missed by the love of her life, Dan Thorpe and lovingly remembered by her very best friends Lana Booker and Jen Hart. Emily is survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and her extended family. She easily made friends from all over the world as she pursued her education. After achieving her Bachelor of Science from Brock University, she went on to the University of British Columbia and fulfilled her dreams, earning her Master’s Degree in Zoology. Special thanks are extended to the staff of Joseph Brant Cancer Clinic and The Carpenter Hospice for their compassionate care and guidance. Friends and family will be received at TRUSCOTT, BROWN & DWYER FUNERAL CHAPEL , 1309 King Street East (across from Gage Park at the delta) on Friday, June 26 from 2 to 4 pm and 6 to 8 pm. A Celebration of her Life will be held at Delta United Church, 47 Ottawa Street South on Saturday, June 27 at 1 pm. Following her wishes, cremation has taken place and in lieu of flowers, donations to The Carpenter Hospice (Burlington) would be appreciated.
