Emily Lynn Alper, May 27, 1986 – January 21, 2024

Cherished daughter of Steve and Ellen (Redler) Alper; older sister and best friend of Melissa and Wade Forrester and Andi Alper; doting aunt to Sara Rose Forrester; loving granddaughter of Shirley and the late Dave Alper and the late Sandy and the late Jules Redler; wonderful niece of Scott and Betsy Redler, Barry and Beverly Redler, Marla and Rand Brichta and Craig and Kerri Alper; great niece of Lenore and Edwin Pepper, Peggy and the late Elliott Alper, Alice and the late Alvin Redler, and the late Gladys Reeves and the late Al Kandel; cousin to Michael and Tressie Brichta, Julie Brichta, Zander, Carli and Sadie Alper, Katie and Camden Geiger, Kelly Redler and Andrew Hudis, Benjamin and Bailey Redler; affectionate dog mom of Izzy; dear and lifelong friend to many.

Emily dedicated her life to helping others, both through her career in nursing and by taking care of her family and friends. She was a lifelong Blues hockey fan, a voracious reader, an avid watcher of cheesy movies, and Dr. Pepper’s number one customer.

Her life was tragically and unexpectedly cut short, but the impact she left on those around her will last forever.
