Obituary of Emily Katherine Yeadon

Emily Katherine Yeadon, 23, became one of God’s angels on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at the Lahey Hospital in Burlington, MA surrounded by family and friends. Born in Hartford, Connecticut on March 9, 1992, Emily grew up in Groton, Massachusetts. She was a 2010 graduate of Groton-Dunstable Regional High School and attended the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. While at MCLA, she pledged to become a sister of the sorority, Pi Upsilon Omega, making her a forever member of the Pines Family. Her creative passion and love of the written word found her able to express herself through poetry, as well as sketch and collage, which she generously shared with others who needed a reminder that the world is ultimately a good place. Music was as essential to Emily as the air she breathed. Her tastes ranged from Backstreet Boys to obscure alternative and garage bands. Emily was fearless when it came to fashion and design—her face to the world was ever changing and beautiful. No matter her hair color, or how trending her outfit and make-up may have been, the camera loved her from every angle. Emily had the gift of making wherever she was her home. She was close to her many aunts, uncles, and cousins—her brother, Sam, was her dearest ally and friend. Her collective friends and family will continue to celebrate her gifts and share her stories because she danced her way across so many hearts along the way. Emily was the beloved daughter of Dan & Susan (Marshall). Loving sister of Samuel Marshall Yeadon of Groton. Granddaughter of Gloria Bomba of Berlin, CT, Joan Menchin of Belmont, NH and the late Richard Marshall, Fred Yeadon & Robert Menchin. Niece of Linda & Tom Grzeika, Lenore & Francis Beebe, Paul & Jessica Marshall, Brian & Jane Yeadon, Barry & Pamela Yeadon, Warren & Lois Yeadon, Bonnie Pavone and Jill & Mike Shaughnessy. Also survived by many cousins and friends.
