Emmery Rose Hermie

Emmery Rose Hermie, age 9, became an angel on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018. She was the light of our lives, the first child and grandbaby to bless our family.

She was full of love and light and joy. She had a five-year plan for how she was going to become an actress, and she also wanted to be a manager at Target and the president. She wanted to have three kids someday. And she could have done it all.

She was so smart and kind and thoughtful and talented and the best big sister to Abigail and Finley. She was her mom’s right hand, always helping, and her dad was going to teach her how to play basketball. She spent her own money on Christmas presents for everyone, and they are wrapped under the tree.

She had the purest heart. She was a Girl Scout and loved doing community service; she helped plant a garden and sang Christmas carols at Fountain View Village. She was incredibly talented and artistic – she was a member of the Fashion Club and Yearbook Club at Fountain Hills Middle School. She was so creative, always drawing or making robots out of recycled materials around the house.

Her last day on earth was filled with everything she loved to do; singing, community service, riding her bike, having a picnic in the front yard, spending time with her friends and watching her favorite movie, “The Greatest Showman.”

One of the brightest lights ever to grace this world has gone out, but we know she is taking charge up in Heaven watching over all of us. We love you our dear, sweet Emmery Rose to the moon and back.

She is survived by her loving parents, Bruce and Katie Hermie; her little sisters, Abigail, 6, and Finley, 4; and her aunts, Camille Bass and Kimberley Bass; and her grandparents, Greg and Marian Hermie, and Jess and Marian Bass.

A memorial service and mass will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 10815 N. 84th Street, Scottsdale, AZ. 85260, on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018 at 11 a.m. There will be a reception following the service at the Hermie house in Fountain Hills at 15012 N. Tamarack Lane.
