Sammy graduated from St Mary’s of the Woods college. She began her career with Eli Lily and spent her life in the medical device field.  At a time when women couldn’t climb the corporate ladder, she found a way to break through the glass ceiling, over and over again throughout her long career.

She was a strong, independent, hardworking woman. She instilled those values in all who knew her.  Sammy enjoyed a good book and a glass of lemonade on her porch.  Sometimes it was a glass of wine.  

Sammy was preceded in death by her husband, Carl and daughter Julie.

Sammy is survived by her daughters, Cindy Emrich(Don) Lisa Nieslanik and Jennifer Emrich.  Sons Andy Emrich(Patti) and Dan Emrich(Laura) Stepchildren, Mary,David,and Lori.
