Obituary of Emily Buckley

Emily Claire Buckley Age 22. Precious child of Jesus, who loved her unconditionally. Born on Valentine's Day, 1993, twelve minutes after her twin brother, James. Emily jokingly liked to fashion herself as a Norwegian princess, owing to her proud Scandinavian heritage. This stunningly beautiful, blue-eyed, brunette princess went to be with the King of Kings on August 26, 2015, very unexpectedly to us, but called by her King. Emily accepted Christ as a young child, and loved Him until the day that she died. She sometimes lived her life as a prodigal, yet never stopped seeking Him, and His Word, which she cherished. A pink King James Version of the Bible, which was required for her elementary school, was one of Emily's most treasured possessions. Left to hold her memory close in heart, are her mother, Pam Buckley; her father, Jim Buckley; her twin brother, James Alexander; and her sisters, Amanda Marie and Olivia Katherine. She is also survived by many aunts and uncles, being especially close to her aunt, Anne Marie Konopack, who was a person that was always there for Emily. Additionally, she was dearly loved by her grandparents, Robert Konopack and Brynda Ramsey; and Leroy and Geraldine Buckley. Funeral Services for Emily C.
