Emily Sophia Howie, 11 months, of Salina, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 10, 2022 following medical treatment for respiratory issues for a recent cold. She was born July 30, 2021 to Justin and Ashley (Young) Howie.

Left to mourn her passing are her parents, siblings Madelyn and Connor; maternal grandparents, Fred and Rene Young; paternal grandparents, Gary and Katherina Howie; great-grandparents, Jim and Carol Vander Yacht, and Edward and Velma Howie; aunts and uncles, Phillip Howie (Becca), Dustin Young (Michelle), Sean Young (Chelsea), Christopher Young, and Shannon Young; cousins, Ava, Kelcy, Kolton, Kody, Kyler, Tyus and Brody.

Emily was the most precious, sweet, funny and lively little girl in the world and brought so much joy to our lives. We will miss her bright smile, her open mouth kisses, her constant happiness, laughs and giggles, her ornery games she liked to play and tease us with, her cuddles, late night feedings, waking up in the morning to her bright smile and every little thing about her. Emily loved playing with and trying to keep up with her brother and sister, splashing in the bathtub and pool, she loved her babies and playing peek-a-boo, this little piggy and patty-cake. She had the brightest personality, was so funny and had so much love for life and her family. Even though we will forever have a huge hole in our hearts, we are so thankful that we got to spend the 11 months with her that we did. Life will never be the same. We love you Emily and miss you so, so much.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 am Saturday, July 16, 2022 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church with Fr Keith Weber as celebrant.

Memorials may be made to the Greater Salina Community Foundation, in care of Ryan Mortuary 137 N 8th Street, Salina, Kansas 67401.
