Our beautiful Emilia “Emi” Ruth Sheibley resident of New Washington, Ohio,
passed away on November 22, 2009 at 12:17 PM at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus as a result of a fatal car accident. Emi was 19 years old, born on April 3, 1990 at Mercy Willard Hospital to Robert P. and Christine A. (Studer) Sheibley.

Condolences
I’m a friend of Emi from Buckeye, I played volleyball and had a lot of classes with her. She was such a bright character. Such a great person. When I heard the news it was such a shock. I couldnt believe what I heard.
I don’t want to go on with sad thoughts. Emi was so smart, nice, fun and just such a great person. I just wanted to say how much I adored Emi, she will be missed. I will be praying for her and her family.
Robert & Chris and family: Our deepest sympathy to you. May our prayers for you and your family lighten your sorrow. Your Faith in God will guide you through this difficult period. We will keep you in out thoughts and prayers.

I promise.
We are so very sorry about the tragic loss of Emi. Jordan has shared many stories and photos with us which has made it very clear that Emi will live on in the hearts of her family and friends and the many precious memories you share of her. We are holding you near to our thoughts and prayers. We hope our prayers reach you and give you strength. Our deepest sympathies. Shane, Vicki, Kamryn & Nick
Dear Sheibley family; words cannot express your tragic loss! I pray the Lord carries you in the days and weeks to come and gives you the strength you need to continue on. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. To Emi; you will be greatly missed by everyones life you touched. You are so loved.
Shannon met Stephanie while teaching and coaching volleyball together at Cardington-Lincoln School. We had the privilege to meet Emi at several volleyball tournaments Stephanie and Shannon played in together. While Emi was only 8 or 9 years old at the time, she was clearly the spark and light of the family. We remember what a sweetheart she was and just a riot to be around, even at such a young age. Stephanie, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during such a difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss!
Chris, you may not remember me, but I also graduated from BC with your sister Kathy. We too have lost a daughter (Christina)to a car accident 8 years ago. She was 15. I am so sorry for the pain you are going through now. We live in Upper Sandusky. Two people have told me of your loss this week. You are and will be in my prayers. We lead a support group for bereaved parents (The Compassionate Friends), which has been very helpful in our healing. My husband and I are here to help if we can. You are not alone. Your daughter sounds like such a wonderful girl. God has her safe in His keeping now, until you meet again. -Carol
Dearest family and friends, it has sadended us to hear of the loss of your daughter Emi. I am sure that there are no words that can truely relieve the pain of this loss. I hope that you know are thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of need. Randy & Ruth Ann Schiefer
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
To Emi’s family and friends,
When I heard the news of Emi’s death, I was absolutely shocked. I was a 2008 graduate from Riverdale High School and have played against Emi in volleyball and basketball since 7th grade. The Riverdale community has had many a loss this year and we all know how hard it is to go through such a shocking loss. I am sending my deepest condolences and praying for your strength during this difficult time. God bless you all, and I am truly sorry for your loss.
-Allysha Wells
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
(Revelation 14:13)
I cannot imagine the devastation. We lost Stephies dad and my husband right around this time of year 8 years ago. Reading all the scripts, it is truly clear that Emi was a fine outstanding young lady and beautiful at that. You have to be proud that she was a 2nd year nursing student. As far as I am concerned, Emi was everybodys girl. God bless you and keep you for all the days forward.
My deapest sympathy to the family…I have known you for so long, but never knew Emi…i graduated with Shelli, knew Claire, and of course Chris in doing hair…I love you all and cant even imagine the heartache. I know Emi was a beautiful young lady and full of life. God calls us when He feels he has to….No one will ever understand why…..Just understand there’s a reason why……
Love you all,
Lisa and Luke (Zaebst) Brown
Shelli,Phil,Grant and Max, Our prayers are with you and your whole family at this time. I know your hearts are broken at this devastating loss. God Bless you and give you peace, now and in the days ahead. Annette Buckley and Dr.Charles Oke
Shelli and family, My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. Emi will contribute to the love and joy in heaven and may you find comfort and peace in knowing that her light still shines. Deb Alspach
I am so sorry for your loss, nothing anyone says or does will make things ok but their support can help you through this horrible time. I lost my 17 year old son in 2002 through an accident. My heart hurts for you, she was very wonderful and beautiful. She will always be yours. God Bless
Bob,Chris,Shelli,Phil and family, We can’t begin to express how sorry we are for your loss. Emi was such a great person and just as importantly a very caring aunt. We named our german sheppard after Emi (she always got a kick out of that). We will miss her but never forget her.
God bless,
The Kimmets
Claire, Bryan and family-We are very sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

She was a great person who was always full of life. I enjoyed teaching her in my class and traveling with her in Europe. Please accept my condolences.
Dear Sheibley family,
I am so sorry for the loss of a beautiful angel. She was wonderful in many aspects. There were days she stood up for me including when we went to Kalahari, I will never forget that day Emi. Emi you were like my sister, I wish you were here so I could have spent more of the time with you. I won’t forget you for everything, you having the BIG and purest heart, wonderful personality, being so down to earth, and so much more sweetie. I remember going to basketball practice and you and I were so competitive toward each other. I wish those days were still here. I miss you so much and love you with all my heart. I know that you are an angel sent from God, watching over all of us. There will not be a day without thinking of you. You have done so many wonderful things for me and others Emi. I thank you so so so much for that. Chris, Bob, Claire, Stephanie, Shelli, Trisha, husbands, niece, and nephews, I am so very sorry. We lost an agel sent from God. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. But she is here to watch over every one of us. You all are forever in my heart and prayers. I love you Emi and thank for for all you have done for me and everyone else. You are forever in my heart, I love you deeply.
Bobby and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
To the family of Emi,
Our deepest sympathy to you at this most difficult time.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers for healing, peace and comfort.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this trying time. May God help you through this and comfort you. Just know that Emi is more beautiful than ever as one of God’s angels. God bless you and your family.
Love, Stacey, Elijah, and Ethan Carey (Mark Carey’s daughter and sons)
My prayers are with you. My husband Jesse is a volunteer firefighter in Morrow county. He was the second responder in Emi’s accident. He actually drove her ambulance to the hospital. Just know that she was in very caring and gentle hands as she was given care. My family and I are praying for you as we cannot imagine you loss.
“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.” I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your Emi. She was as beautiful inside as she was outside. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. She has given the greatest gift of all to others so they will have a better life!! Memories and faith will sustain you. Take care! Gene & Sharon
Our deepest sympathies go out to your entire family and friends. Losing a member of the family is very difficult especially when it is a child (young adult). By becoming an organ donor, Emi showed her maturity at a young age. I hope you will get to meet the recipients sometime down the road–it really does help to see them and know that they are here because of your daughter. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take Care
Shellie, Steph and the Sheibley Family, No words we type can truly express our sincere sorrow. Please accept our condolences during this time of your loss.
Bob, Chris, and Family:
We are so sorry to hear about Emi. We remember her on the sidelines at sporting events and know how loved she was by her parents and sisters. In recent years we have kept up with her accomplishments through reading the New Washington Herald. You will all be in our prayers in the days ahead.
Bob & family, Our prayers go out to you, Old
friend have faith–Bless your family–We are
keeping you in our prayers.
Orren & Ruth Bradley

Dearest Steph, I write this with such a heavy heart. I just learned of your family’s great loss. There are obviously no words to describe my sorrow for your family. I only hope that your faith and the love you surround yourself with will help carry you beyond your grief and enable you to celebrate Emi’s life and the joy she brought to yours. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Denise Pinkowitz
May God give your family strength. Our prayers our with you all.
From my kitchen window this morning, I see Mr. Secor preparing for Emi’s funeral. This leaves me paralyzed with grief this morning for your family. Emi was wonderful young lady. Seeing her at Mass was so humbling to me. Emi is enjoying her first Thanksgiving in Heaven today. She is enjoying the most wonderful smelling, tasting banquet that heaven can prepare…
I know she is asking God today to send an angel down to her family to let them know she is o.k. and so happy. May God’s angel surround you all with the presence of his son each and everyday… Robin Rae-Wechter
Bob,Chris,Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sheibly family always. May God lead you through this difficult time. Emi will always be there with you, forever.
Jim and Linda Lehnhart & Family
To the entire Sheibley clan:
I’d like to thank you for raising such a wonderful young lady – for without ALL of you, she would not have been the vibrant, competitive, and intellegant individual that she was. Emi was a joy to watch grow up, coach and was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for allowing her to be apart of my life. She will forever be treasured in my heart. Love and prayers are being sent your way…
Our sincere sympathy is sent out to you.
To my extended family, I loved Emi like my own daughter. She was an extremely beautiful woman both inside and out. She was and is so proud of her family, especially the little ones. My heart has a hole in it and I will hold tightly to the memories of my precious Emi while she was with us. She truly has a heart of gold, which someone is so very blessed to receive. I remember her looking at the twins, back and forth just grinning her beautiful smile. I was patiently waiting for her to become my real daughter eventually, but she always was a real daughter to me. Be proud all of you as you have raised such an amazing, loving, wonderful angel with a HEART OF GOLD. I know she is with us and in our hearts. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. She made me a better person and I am so thankful to God that she was and is in my life. I love you guys and know that God is with you all. Love, Shirley Kreim
To Shelli and the entire Sheibley family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Emi’s passing. I will always have memories of her at the pool every Sunday afternoon, playing with little Ryley. She always seemed to have so much fun. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Claire & Shelli, Family
You are in my prayers. May God give you the strength to get through the loss of your sister.
Love you all, Shelley
Steph and all of the Sheibley family, I am so sorry to hear of Emi’s passing. May God grant you comfort through the support of family, friends and good memories.

I want to let you know, I am thinking of your family during this time sadness. I know words may not stop the pain, but hopefully they may help bring you some peace. I lost a sister at the age of 26, due to a car accident. As you must know, you will never stop missing her, but as time goes on the memories of her life, will help lesson the pain in your hearts.
May God Bless all of you, and surround your lives with peace.

We are so sad to hear about Emi. She was a delightful young lady and she made an impact on many people in her life. God promises that the sorrow may last for a night, but Joy comes in the morning. I pray Joy for you again and that it comes soon. Thank you for the gift or organ donation on Emi’s behalf. My brother was a liver recipient when he was 14 and lived a full and wonderful life. We lost him when he was 30, but those years that were given to us were God sent. We are praying for you all.
Steph and Family- We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Remember how blessed you are to of had Emi in your lives for the much to short time she was. Be comforted in the way she has touched so may people. My families thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

Dear Bob, Chris & Family,
We offer up our prayers and deepest sympathy; we are sorry for your loss.
Sheibley Family,
Emi worked with me at Flex Pack. She is truely a wonderful girl. She spoke often of the nieces and newphews and how wonderful her family is. I was saddened and shocked to hear of her passing, but comforted knowing that she and your family has blessed others with her living donations. May God keep you all in His light.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers throughout this difficult time. May your memories of Emi bring you comfort and peace.
Nothing we can say will ever be enough to describe what you are all going through so will simply say Emi was a very beautiful and lucky young lady who was the perfect example of what a loving family she has. She showed the love by giving the gift of life to someone else and to me that is the proof of a very lovely and giving person.
Our love and prayers be with you. Dick & Lorna and Jim, Mitch , Steve and Mikel
To the whole Sheibley family , my most scincere regrets for your loss of Em. it was always entertaining to watch her while we were attending all the volleyball and basketball as Shannon and Stephanie progreesed through thier high school years. I pray that God will grant the consolation only He can provide to help you through this sad time. Dennis Striker
We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Bob, Chris and family you have our Deepest Sympathy for the lost of your daughter. All of your frends of Shadow Flight’s prayers are with you and your family.
Bob, Chris & entire family, You have our deepest sympathy in the lose of your angel “Emi”. At Nate’s graduation party the comedian Jay Hendersen enjoyed “Emi” a lot, teasing her and asking what her plans were after graduation. Emi was and will always be successful in heaven as she was on earth. God has even better plans for Emi in heaven, because she has touched so many people’s lives on our earth, image what her spirit will do in God’s heaven. Emi has fulfilled God’s wishes by donating her organ’s to bless others. Emi was always a giver and will never be forgotten. I just want to let you know what a honor it has been to have met such a beautiful person, who has enriched our lives. Just remember your angel Emi will be waiting for you on the other side. My prayer for her loved ones that God will keep you in his arms and embrace you in this time of need. God Bless!
Bob, Chris and family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you during this difficult time, may the strength of your faith and family give you comfort. Love to all,
Bob, Chris, Stephanie, and family.
My heart just breaks for you and your family. I enjoyed watching Emi grow from the cute little sister at ONU volleyball into a mature young woman on the volleyball court when playing Riverdale. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Your are in our prayers. Shawn (Lauck) Donaldson and family.
My deepest sympathy to all of Emi’s family and frinds! Emi and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. We have a daughter the same age, born in March of 1990, and can’t imagine losing her in the prime of her life as you did with Emi. Please know that we keep you in our prayers so that God will send you strength to celebrate her life as she joins him in heaven.
(I work with your daughter, Shelli, at Mercy Willard Hospital. What a lovely, extremely intelligent and pleasant person she is, and lots of fun to be around.)
To the family and friends of Emi: I am writing on behalf of the entire Bishop family, my brother Greg is Leah’s uncle.
There are no words to adequately express the depth of our pain and sorrow for all of Emi’s loved ones at your loss. What a beautiful, beautiful young woman-inside and out. I cannot stop weeping even as I write this. May the God of all peace and comfort be with you now and in the future as you grieve and miss your amazing Emilia. We are so very sorry.
In Christ’s love and service,
Sue Bishop and the entire family
I am the mother of Greg Bishop who is the uncle of Leah. I cannot even imagine what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God hold each one of you tightly during this time.
To Emis Family
Words can’t even come close to say how sorry we are to hear of Emis passing. We remember her at the BC volleyball games with her french braids and fun filled energy. May God comfort your entire family through these hard times. Our prayers and love are with you.

I am just blessed to have had her in my life! Love Jennie
We are truly sorry for your loss and pray that you find comfort in knowing that you will be seeing her again in eternity. We were watching the 1st playoff game at Wynford and saw Emi a ways away talking to a group of people. She was enjoying herself in the moment and it will be another lasting memory of her. She was a beautiful young lady and we know she was very much loved. We know that your family will be surrounding each other over the next several months and beyond to show God’s comfort and support. Embrace it and the Lord will lead you through this difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and we will be there. May God Bless!

I had more opportunity to spend time with Emi when she was litte and I can still hear her little voice say “My birthday is on April terd.” Always such a cutie. Just know that the whole community is mourning the loss of Emi. Her radiant smile will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you struggle through this tragedy and try to find a different normal. God bless each of you, Angie Strohm

Dear God,
You are all powerful, all loving and you have ordained this child. You may have been ready to take your angel but the Sheibley family may have not. You have set the table for her and gave her a new name. I ask that on the day of thanksgiving, they become overwhelmed with joy and love; and even if she is not physically at their table, she is at yours. I pray with all the faith that I have, that this may comfort them.
In your name,
Amen
Words are hard in coming to try to express my sadness for each of you. May you find strength through your faith, family, and friends….. May you find light in this very darkened journey through your love and celebration of Emi’s life.
Love,
Marsha and the entire Roof family
Deepest sympathy to the entire Sheibley. The family as well as Emi are in our thoughts and prayers and may God give you the strength and courage to get through the upcoming days.

With the holiday’s this week, I know how you are feeling and it will be hard times ahead… Moving on and learning to celebrate Thanksgiving was an extremly hard thing for our family to do but we did and even thought it’s not the same,it gives us a time to reflect on Chris and all the wonderful memories.. We will be keeping you all in our prayers.
God promises that He is close to the brokenhearted & saves those who are crushed in spirit. You all have my deepest sympathies, love & prayers.

To Emi’s family I am so sorry for the loss of your precious little lady. She was a wonderful young lady. We loved her very much. She would come to our house and play in the yard with Xavier for hours. He loved her as much as she loved him. She placed a dream catcher next to xaviers bed and i will always leave there because thats where she put it. I would just sit and watch her and Chris play in the yard as if they were 2 little kids smiling and happy with no worries in the world. love The Fullers
