Emily Vea Ford Rasmussen
February 7, 1963 - September 15, 2010
Emily "Em" Vea Ford Rasmussen, the youngest of five children born to Philip and Shelda Ford on February 7, 1963, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Em graduated from Orem High School. She married Don Rasmussen at age 19. They later divorced. She was a wonderful mother to Nicole Emily and Tyler Scott Rasmussen. She made everyone feel at home, especially at large family or friends gatherings. Emily loved Nicole and Tyler very much. She will miss and be missed by them. Her eyes and heart would light up anytime she saw or spoke to them. Emily loved being outdoors in the sun, riding the four wheeler, golfing and especially being with her best friend Teddy wherever they traveled. She was so proud of the bench she made. She wanted everybody to see it and to sign it. She was a great collector of memories and memorabilia. Little things you wouldn't think of saving were treasures to Emily. Her kind heart will be greatly missed by her family and all the many great friends she had. Emily loved life. She viewed each day as a gift. She is survived by her parents; her children, Nicole and Tyler; her sisters, Teri (Glen) Brown, Shelly Wright, and Julie (Ron) Penrod; her brother, Mark (Julie) Ford; and her companion, Ted Kriutmoes. She was also "Auntie Em" to many nieces and nephews. They all loved her dearly. There will be a short memorial service on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. in the Berg Mortuary Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo. Because it was Emily's wish to be cremated, there will be no graveside services, so the family requests no flowers. Instead, the family suggests donations be given for her services.
