Mary "Emily" Saurers, 75 of Crestline passed away on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at her home with her family by her side.
Emily was born in Crestline on February 13, 1947, to the late James "Jimmy" and Arthella "Artie" (Slorp) Tridico, Sr. On July 22, 1966, Emily would marry David Saurers, Sr. in Monroe, Michigan, and he survives in Crestline.
Emily was a 1965 graduate of Crestline High School, and a longtime member of Trinity Lutheran Church. For 18yrs she managed the Hallmark store in Ontario. Emily was a proud member of the Mary Martha circle at church, life auxiliary member of the Crestline VFW Post 2920, and served as Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, Crestline.
Emily's most treasured memories were those spent with her family, always looking forward to family meals, especially the Holidays where she would cook a feast for her loved ones. If Emily was not spending time with her family, you could find her in her garden tending to her flowers or watching the birds. Emily enjoyed her many trips South with David. On game days, you could be sure that you would find Emily cheering on her Cleveland Indians.
