On June 25, 1983, she married Thomas Krueger in Neenah. Emily was employed by Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton. Emily loved to spoil her boys who were her life. She was a "wrestling mom" for Winneconne and Oshkosh North. Emily loved flowers and the outdoors, including fishing and hunting.

Dear Peggy and Family,
My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy go out to you and all for the loss of your sister. It is so sad to see someone so young and vibrant be taken so soon. Peggy, as a work colleague and friend, please know that we are thinking of you. As I'm sure Emily lived life to the fullest each day, may we all learn from her that "Life is a journey, not a destination."
