Emma Elizabeth RITCHEY

Emma was born June 17, 1998 in Burlington, the daughter of Brett Curtis and Bonnie Sue RIFE RITCHEY.

She was a freshman at New London High School and had attended school in Mediapolis. She lived her life to the fullest and lived like there was no tomorrow, saying what was on her mind, never judging people and telling friends to "be who you want to be." If someone was sad, she would do everything in her power to make them smile even if she had to dance. She enjoyed skate boarding, writing and reading poetry, drawing, and reading then giving out all of the details.
