Emelia Fay Spaulding

Our sweet princess, Emelia Fay Spaulding, was born on July 13, 2020 and went into her Heavenly Father’s arms, September 14, 2020. Although we only had her for a short time, we loved her dearly.

A letter from Dad and Mom:

Words can't describe what I'm feeling right now. I'm lost and broken and I'm so angry at everything. Things were not supposed to be this way. I want my tea parties and my make-up done. I want an excuse to dress up like a princess. I’ve looked so forward to being a dad of a little girl for the last 8 years. I'm not ready for what's happening. You were a fighter until the very end, but you can finally rest now my sweet princess. Mommy and daddy love you very much.

She is survived by a large and loving family: father and mother, Ryan and Beth, and brother Grayson Spaulding of Columbus; great grandparents Helen Spaulding of Grove City, Betty Wickwire of Norton; grandparents Buck and Celenia Spaulding of Grove City, Jim and Lisa Livengood of South Bloomfield; great aunts Terry (Rodney) Flanery of Ashville, Tracy Kelsey of Kyle, TX, Emily (Ben) Nank of Norton, Sarah (Karen) Livengood of Blacklick, Renee Livengood of Salt Lake City, UT; great uncles David Wickwire of Columbus, Rus (Liz) Wickwire of Washington D.C., Robert Livengood of Columbus, David (Carol) Livengood of Southbridge, MA; aunts Ashley (Chris) Curnutte of Columbus, Chelsea Spaulding of Columbus, Zoe Livengood of Pittsburgh, PA, Tess Livengood of Columbus; many great-great aunts and uncles, and many cousins.
