Emarie Peters Obituary (2008 - 2020)

This world became a little less bright as we said our “goodbyes” to the strongest, most tenacious, amazing girl. Emarie already surpassed so many expectations given to her by health professionals. She faced immense challenges every single day of her life. But, she did so with a smile, and the most infectious laugh that left a deep impression on anyone that was privileged to witness it. She also found a way around almost every boundary set before her. We know she is raising hell in the afterlife as sure as we know that we did not say goodbye forever. Emarie had an impact that reached globally, and will never fade. We are immensely grateful for the 12 years we had with her. But it will never be enough time. Emarie is survived by her parents, Steve and Alisha Peters, her younger siblings, Ryker (7) and Hallie (5). As well, as many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended chromosome 18 family, that will all never be the same with her absence. Please help us by celebrating her life in the best way we know how, on Saturday, February 29th from 3-5 pm at Nelson Family Mortuary. There will be a live webcast for those that can’t physically attend, and we’d love for all to join us when we do the bubble release around 4:45 mst. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate any and all donations to go directly to The Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society. Without whom, I am certain we would not have gotten these amazing 12 years with our girl, and we’d love research efforts to continue to help her extended family with chromosome 18 abnormalities.
