Emily Egan’s (STITELER) beautiful smile will be remembered Monday August 24th at 10am at the White Haven Memorial Park. She is survived by her Husband James, Step-son Zachery and her Mother and Father Linda and Fred Stiteler along with her Step Mother Wendy, her brothers Aron and Andrew along with her sister Jenn and her family Steve, Brody and Landry Jane along with her Father and Mother in Law Jim and Shelley, and Brother and Sister in Law Ryan and Barre and niece Devrey.
To know Emily was to love her… Emily’s smile could be seen across the room and her warmth was felt for miles. She made everyone feel special, feel wanted, Emily was always curious about what her friends and family were interested in. If you were in a room with Emily you were a lucky soul. Emily’s friends and family will always remember the precious sound of her wonderful laughter.
She was passionate about helping the less fortunate. She was always there to support people struggling with mental health and addiction issues. Emily was happy to take them to AA meetings, grocery shopping, dinner, and more.
She was proud to work as a Housing Specialist for Housing Options Made Easy. Emily was loved by her clients and co-workers.
Emily loved gardening. She loved the change of seasons and the seeing what would grow in her yard. She also loved feeding and watching the birds who stopped by for a visit. She loved animals and collected things with lambs or elephants on them. She also loved swimming, baking, golfing and boating.
She loved to travel with her Mom to the Adirondacks and she always looked forward to visiting her Dad in Florida. Disneyworld and Montreal were favorites too.
In the months ahead a larger, laughter filled celebration will be announced. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations be made to NAMI. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
Emily Egan will be missed by so many.

Sending up love and sorrow
I miss you my friend and where will I ever find that laughter and bubbleness.. Gone way too soon..
I worked with Emily at East House and she was always a bright light in everyone’s day. My condolences to James and the rest of the family. What a tragic loss!
I am Emily’s aunt and I shall always remember her smiling face and twinkling eyes when she shared her engagement with us all at a family Christmas Eve Party. Her love for James and happiness could not have been more evident. This is such a tragedy and we are so very sorry it happened.
I knew Emily very well. She did a lot to get me into a fine facility. She did a great job. I am very shocked. I will miss her
I will always miss my bestie. I still can’t believe it’s true. In your honor, I promise to give to others what you gave to me – love, light, and laughter. Love you forever.
My brother Murray, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, was a client of Emily’s.
He’d known her for over a year. I only knew her for the last 2 months of her life. She helped, my brother move into a better facility more suited to his needs.
Emily literally made my brother’s life better. I’m sure she helped countless others enrich their lives. I know she got paid for her tasks, but I also know she didn’t get paid to care, to worry, and go the extra mile for her clients. My brother tried to back out of moving at the last minute. This caused quite a bit of extra work for Emily. But because of her perseverance, patience, and kindness she gave him the extra nudge he needed to carry on with his move. And he is now settling in quite nicely.
I debated whether or not to make this a public note. I decided on the latter so those who didn’t know Emily welll have independent corroboration. She truly was the difference maker.
My deepest condolences to all of Emily’s friends and family.
Thank you Emily for all the waves you sent me across the street when I would see you!
I just heard of Emily’s passing she was once a peer in a program I was part of I could be having the worst day ever and just being in her presence would brighten my day Emily taught me no matter how dim and gloomy the day is the sun will break through the clouds and for just knowing Emily I am thankful Emily will forever be in my prayers
I am very sorry for Emily’s families loss. Even though I never met her I feel compelled to comment. Her beautiful soul will be with you until you meet her again. The more sensitive we are, the more pain we feel from the world. From reading her obituary, she was a true Gem caring for others with a beautiful smile and soul. May your heart rest knowing that she is with the Lord. Separation may feel eternal, for it is only temporary. The world lost an Angel where there are so few. Much love to Emily’s families during this time of loss. May you know God’s Love and peace with his arms wrapped around each of you.
Sending much love and pray to the Egan family during this difficult time .
I was Emily’s first love. Although, we were both young she left an everlasting impression on me. She always brought the energy to a group. She had a heart of gold. Unfortunately, I can’t make the funeral , but would like to attend the latter event in her remembrance. My condolences go out to her parents, family, and husband. She will be greatly missed.
We will always remember her beautiful smile and soul. Love and miss her so much. There are no words that can trully express how saddened we are, shes was one of the most real, loving, and caring woman I’ve ever known. Her and James came to our wedding in 2014, and made that day brighter just by being herself. We miss her tremendously. Love you Emily
Linda, I cannot imagine what it is like to lose a child. She was such a sweet girl. I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts to you and the rest of of your family.
