Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Emilie Irene Pittman Shipley, 53, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2010 at her home in Cedar City, Utah. She was born August 3, 1957 in Port Arthur, Texas to Charles Herbert and Charlotte Haglund Pittman.Mom was a special woman who was considered a mother to not only her own children but all those in the neighborhood as well. She was always there to offer a word of support, love or the occasional warning or reprimand when needed!Mom enjoyed sewing and quilting. She loved to sing and spend time with her family. She enjoyed her long history and friendship with her drill team members and friends from high school and kept touch with almost all of them over facebook and the internet. Mom was an avid "nerd" and she will be dearly missed until we meet again. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and had a real and genuine love of our Savior.
