Emily Ann Milley (Crew), of Goderich passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on May 28, 2023 in her 68th year after a brief battle with cancer. Emily is deeply missed by her husband, Carson of 41 years and her four children, Angela Milley-Postma (Peter), Kristal Adams (Travis), Stephanie McPhee (Ryan) and Christopher Milley. She was a proud Grandma who deeply loved her six Grandchildren, Amelia, Carson, Ivy, Lila, Jacob and Katelyn. Survived by her Mother, Emily Crew and brothers, Stephen (Linda), Peter (Laura), Stuart and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her Father, Bruce Crew.
Emily was born December 21, 1955. She is remembered as a kind and nurturing person. She loved to cook large family dinners and share them with all those she loved. Her early passion in healthcare as a candy striper and nurse continued to grow as she assisted several births and was a strong advocate for elderly, family and friends. She served as School Board Trustee for several years and enjoyed her time working at ReMax.
Visitation will be held at the McCallum & Palla Funeral Home on Sunday June 4, 2023 from 1-4. Funeral Service on Monday June 5 at 11am at McCallum & Palla Funeral Home. Interment to follow at the Maitland Cemetery.

My deepest sympathy go out to Emily’s family. I met Emily when we entered high school and got to know her better when we worked at the hospital as candy striper. She was always a very caring person to all that she came across. I was so shocked when I saw her obituary because we have been in contact on FaceBook until very recently. I know that she will leave a huge whole in the family but, you have your memories to look back on.

I was so sad to read about Emily’s passing. The Walters family were backdoor neighbours of the Crew family for many years. Emily & I recently re-connected during preparations for our 50th high school class reunion. She always had that beautiful smile. I’m keeping you, her dear family, in my thoughts & prayers. Hold on to your precious memories & lean on one another for strength during this difficult time.
God Bless,

Several years ago my Mother was knocked to the ground at the Suncoast Mall when the automatic doors closed on her as she was leaving from Food Basics. I had gone to bring the car up to the doors to pick her up so was not with her. Behind her was Emily Milley, leaving the grocery store with her shopping. Mother had broken her hip. Emily stayed with Mother and I until the ambulance arrived and she was in the ambulance and on her way to the hospital. What a blessing she was that day, I’ve never forgotten it this caring, lovely lady.
