Emily will be lovingly remembered by her parents, Curtis and Jill Barnes; grandparents, Max and Linda Barnes, Roger and Martha Johnson; her pets, Fish, Murphy, and Morgan; many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends. Emily had a wicked sense of humor. Emily battled kidney cancer for 10 months and the care she received at Lacks Cancer Center went above and beyond what the family could hope for or imagine. She loved animals, movies, music, and enjoying life. She was a GVSU student and loved learning. Anchor Up! The world is a better place for having had her with us.
