Quiring, Emily Helen - February 5, 1961 - July 31, 2015
It is with love and great sadness that we announce the passing of Emily Quiring, wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. Emily was the fifth child born to Jacob and Helen Isaak of Medstead, Saskatchewan. She was an energetic and determined child, loving volleyball and horseback riding. She attended Bethany Bible College and SAIT, receiving her business administration diploma, all the while being romanced by a Saskatchewan born farmer and cowboy. Emily married Rodney Quiring on October 8, 1983 and they enjoyed 32 happy years together, raising two kids, traveling the world, and opening their home and fridge to any and all who visited. After moving to 91原创, BC in 1996, Emily saw much success in the business community and volunteered her time helping with events at North 91原创 Community Church, where she was able to fully use her gifts of kindness, generosity, and leadership. On July 31, 2015, Emily lost a bravely and graciously fought, 20 month battle with breast cancer. Her passions included golf and supporting anyone she knew in the sports arena; but most of all, she loved doing life with family and friends. Emily鈥檚 faith and love were as strong as her heart and determination and her spirit will live on through all those who have been touched by this wonderful woman. The family wishes to thank everyone at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre as well as the 91原创 Hospice, who treated Emily with care, dignity and respect. Emily will be deeply missed and forever loved by her husband Rod, daughter Rayel (Adam), and son Cody (Carlee). She is also survived by her brothers Bruce and Cliff, sister Irene, along with many nieces, nephews and in-laws. She is predeceased by her parents, Jake and Helen, and sister Ruby. The Celebration of Life for Emily will be held at North 91原创 Community Church on Friday, August 7 at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask for donations to the Ride to Conquer Cancer.
