We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to announce the tragic passing, on July 3, 2025, of our beloved daughter, Emma Pauline (Sheva Faigie) Katz.

Beloved daughter of 21 years of Joanna and Anton Katz, sister of Ethan Katz. Granddaughter of Jill, Richard, Joan and Eddie. Niece of Samantha, Adam, Shana and Jodi. Emma unfortunately had a tragic seizure and cardiac arrest six months earlier. We were all by her side, holding her hands, when she passed away sleeping peacefully.

Emma was always an empathetic, happy and positive person who appreciated the simple things in life.

She found purpose and meaning through her love of overnight Camp Walden, competitive cheerleading and her successful dog grooming business.

Emma will be deeply and dearly missed by family, friends and all who knew and loved her

Dear Joanna, Anton, and Ethan, I'm very sorry for your tragic loss. Emma was taken far too young. She imparted such a positive spirit on the world and there will certainly be a void without her. In her 21 years, and in spite of her challenges, she always managed to persevere, be a successful cheerleader, start her own dog grooming business, while developing and nurturing a close knit group of friends. She'll be dearly missed. May her memory be a blessing and inspiration to others. xo Daniel Waserman
