Emersyn Elizabeth Rowles

LEWISTON – Resting peacefully in her mother’s arms and surrounded by her family, Emersyn Elizabeth Rowles, self-named “Emmy,” left her earthly body to find rest in the arms of our Savior on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 after a life-long battle with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (AT) and nearly three-year battle with leukemia.

Since her birth Feb. 8, 2006, Emmy shined rays of light for all the world to see. A sophomore at Lewiston High School, Emmy was an adventurer, loved laughing, she gave everything she had to others, and she was a warrior every day of her life.

Emmy is survived by her mother and stepfather, Brittany and Eron Parker, her father and stepmother, Eric and Anne Rowles; and her beloved siblings, Avlynn Parker, Grady and Jayne Rowles and stepbrothers, Jacob and Shey Ajayi. She also leaves behind grandparents Carla and David Verelli, Gregory and Deborah Belinda, Commodore and Brenda Rowles, Cindy Osborne, and Roger Hebert; as well as great-grandparents; many aunts, uncles, cousins; and of course, her wonderful community of friends.

Sincere gratitude is extended to the compassionate caregivers in the Lewiston School District, Boston Children’s Hospital and Androscoggin Home Health Care and Hospice for their compassionate and gentle care of our sweet girl.

The family invites loved ones to a celebration of life held to honor Emmy’s life and legacy on April 30, 2022. The event will be held at Vista of Maine Vineyard & Cidery Tasting Room with memorial service between 4 – 5 p.m., followed by refreshments. We encourage guests to wear pink, Emmy’s favorite color.

Arrangements by the Pinette Dillingham & Lynch Funeral Home 305 Alfred A. Plourde Parkway in Lewiston, 784-4023. Online condolences and sharing of memories may be expressed at http://www.lynchbrothers.com.
