Emily Denise Street

Emily Denise Street, 19, a full-time student at Front Range College passed away at Wyoming Medical Center on February 23, 2015 after unexpectedly becoming ill while home visiting her mother in Mills.

Emily is survived by her mother, Heather L. Street; her father, David Brian Street and his wife Wanda Street; her sisters, Victoria Street, Sarah Street, Allison Holmes, Kayleigh Holmes, and Amanda Holmes; her grandparents, Denise and Homer Willis; aunts and uncles, Tony and Joann Watters, Jasen and Shaunna Pedersen, Shari (Watters) and Chad Proctor, Sharon and Randy Caldwell, Mike Street, and Steve Street; the love of her life, Austin Miller; and many more extended family and numerous friends. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Bill and Joan Street.

Born September 8, 1995 in Casper, WY, her love of the mountains, lakes, and rivers of Wyoming grew as she continued through her life in Park Elementary, Dean Morgan Junior High, and Natrona County High School. With her love of the scenery came a love of being outdoors, as she often could be found either at the lake with her friends or snowboarding through the Rocky Mountains. Her favorite trips of these were always visiting her aunt and uncle to snowboard with them at Snowy Range in Laramie.

Having had the honor of performing with the Casper Children's Chorale in elementary school and junior high school, she was able to travel the country. It was here that sprang her love of New York City and many other places, as she'd always preferred the city life. Emily also had a love for sports, managing the Mustang Football Team while at NCHS, and grew to love baseball especially. With her travels, she saw several major league games in the big cities, including her favorite team at home – the New York Yankees.

Emily was an inspiration to her sisters, who she had passed on her love of baseball to among many other things. Emily was always up for a challenge, be it baseball trivia or dancing. She loved the city life that Colorado provided as she shared an apartment with her close friend Madi and her beloved cat, Simba there. She never forgot her family, however, and visited often. Her love of animals was apparent, with the number of animals she'd grown to love and the animals she'd brought in off the streets. Also apparent was her love of other people, she was always ready with a conversation and smile. Through Emily's gift of anatomical donations, her love will continue on through other people indefinitely.

Emily has always been the light of her mother's life. Her family is proud of the precious, beautiful, amazingly smart young woman that Emily had grown to be. She was so full of life, love and compassion that she made other people's lives better for them knowing her.

A celebration of Emily's life will be held at the First Christian Church 520 CY Avenue at 2pm on Saturday, February 28th. Reception will follow in the fellowship hall of the FCC. Interment will be at a later date.

Memorial donations can be made in Emily's name to Snowy Range Ski Patrol, the Humane Society, Donor's Alliance, or any organization of your choice.
