After college Emily moved back to Athens where she and husband, Adam Davis were married and soon had two outstanding boys, Ryan and Reid. Emily taught elementary students for ten years in Mabank ISD. She also loved teaching Sunday school at Eastern Hills Church of Christ.

Emily’s greatest earthly love was her family. She often bragged on her kind and generous husband who loved her dearly. She loved spending her time cheering on her boys at their various sporting events and livestock shows. In her downtime Emily could often be found with her cows. She found peace when with them and was most excited during calving season. She was an accomplished quilter and loved to cross-stitch, skills she learned from her grandmother Carolyn McIntyre. She enjoyed a slower paced life out in the country, growing her own produce and baking from scratch.
