She will always be remembered as a devoted wife, beautiful daughter, loving sister, and for being very sweet and kind. She had a great sense of humor and loved anything silly. Emily loved music, arts & crafts, and animals (especially sea turtles, bears, dogs, and hippos).
Emily was born on February 12th, 1996, in Jackson, Michigan. After high school, she moved to the Kansas City area and married her husband Connor in 2020.
She is survived by her husband Connor Murphy, her parents Bob & Jill Hammell, her siblings Elizabeth & Matthew Hammell, and Uncle Jack Draffen as well as her in-laws Bob & Ramey Murphy.
Emily will be cremated according to her wishes. A Celebration of Life will be held in her honor later this month.
