Celebrate Emali Denai's Life and Legacy

My name is Nichole and this beautiful young woman is my baby sister, Emali Denai. She passed away on October 2, 2024, after a week-long battle of fighting for her life in ICU. Her passing was very unexpected as she was only 34 years old with so much life left to live.

Emali left behind 4 children who she loved more than life itself. She was loved by so many and will be missed beyond measure. Emali’s passing, while unfortunate, saved the lives of 5 others. Her heart still beats in the life of another, her lungs still breathe life into another, both kidneys in 2 more, and her liver in another. As much as it saddens me to live the rest of this lifetime without my sister, I know that she still lives on through others. I also find comfort knowing that she is on the other side with our mother and 2 brothers.

I am raising money to help give her a beautiful Celebration of Life to honor her memory and celebrate the lives she saved. Any and all donations will go toward her celebration of life, any unpaid expenses at Shubert’s Funeral Home for cremation, and keepsakes for her children, fiancé, and siblings. Thank you so much in advance and God bless. I also urge everyone to make the choice to donate life; it is a beautiful thing to see a happy ending to great tragedy.
