In Loving Memory of Emilee

Emilee Bennett passed away on Thursday, February 3 at the very young age of 38. Her loss has left our community heartbroken. Emilee served as a preschool teacher at the Montclair Cooperative school with dedication for thirteen years. Emilee was a beautiful, creative and loving soul, with the voice of an angel. She shared her creativity with her students and her community in so many ways. Emilee designed and created tee shirts for our annual food pantry Thanksgiving drive, instructed music to the little ones and shared her beautiful homemade crafts with everyone.

To help her loving mother Barbara, also a Co-op preschool teacher for many years, with funeral costs, we are asking for donations from those who knew and loved Emilee for the kind, generous spirit she was.

We are truly devastated by Emilee's passing and our hearts go out to her family, friends, colleagues and students. Emilee will be deeply missed, and we are so grateful to have shared in her life and have her light shine on us for so many years.
