Obituary of Emily “Emme” Ann Hildebrand
Emily Ann Hildebrand was born on January 22, 1998 in Wyandotte, Michigan. She was one of many children raised by her parents: Richard Hildebrand and Joell (Molaski) Hildebrand.
Coming from a large family, Emily learned to handle her own and was referred to as the Queen of the family. She was tomboy and princess rolled into one. She had her brothers wrapped around her finger and loved spending time with all of her siblings. She absolutely adored her nephew Noah and he adored her too. She was his favorite aunt and he was sure to let everyone know it!
Emily had an artistic side and enjoyed drawing, painting, and reading. She loved to listen to all kinds of music, though her taste in music was heavily influenced by her siblings. She had a beauty that was effortless, and she enjoyed accessorizing with bracelets. She was quite the fashionista. She acquired many tattoos, and they all told a little story about her life and things that were important to her. One in particular doubled as her favorite saying: “Let go and let God.” She was an animal lover and especially enjoyed the company of her family dogs.
Above anything, her Lord and her family were most important to Emily. Her beautiful smile and loving nature are just a few things that will be deeply missed by her family and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. There will forever be a void in the hearts of her family.
