Emily Gudbjorg Adcox

Emily Gudbjorg Adcox left this life to pursue greater adventures on Sunday, January 19 2014. She was 91 years old. Emily was born in Wynyard, Saskatchewan, Canada to Tom and Margaret Collan on April 22, 1922. She and her family – brothers Mindy and Lawrence, and sisters Eleanor, Christine and Sella – first moved to North Dakota in 1927, then settled in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle in the late 1930s. There she met her eventual husband, the debonair Clyde Adcox. Emily and Clyde later moved to Snoqualmie, Washington, where they had five children Clyde Jr. (Jeep), Janet, Ginger, Gerry and Howie. Emily was blessed with twelve grandchildren that she loved dearly, but goodness did she love her great-grandkids: Jennifer, Brandon, Kyle, Chad, Blake, Adam, Katie, Steven, Dianna, Kenny, Curtis, Lil’ Scott Murray, Bud, Baby Em, Annabella, Olivia, Jake the Snake, Kira, Liam, Finn and of course little Lily.

Emily was Mom to some, Grammie to others, MiMi or Auntie. She is preceded in her journey by Clyde…however she is SURVIVED by many many many who loved her dearly, including: Jeep, Jody, Terri, Brent, Tammy, Donny, Sherri, Janet, Bill, RTizzle, Michelle, Keefe and Tina too, Ginger, Russ, Casey, Megan, Mindy, Stevor, Gerry, Gordy, Shawni, Ty, Sandra, Zach, Howie, Joan, Jason, Kelly, Amanda, her niece Dolly Christianson, all those great-grandkids and a few great-great ones as well.

Please join us in celebration of Emily’s life on Saturday, February 8 at the Snoqualmie Eagles at 1:00pm. We’ll share stories, laugh some, cry some (hopefully more of the former), tip a couple of red beers in her honor and generally just remember an amazing woman. It will be a potluck, so feel free to bring a dish if you are so moved, or if not, just stop by anyway. Donations can be made to Providence Hospice.

Emily’s middle name was Gudbjorg, Icelandic for God’s child. After 91 incredible years with all of us, God’s child was finally called home.
