Tiffany Ann Emerson was born on April 5, 1987, at the University of Washington Hospital, Seattle WA. She passed from this life on May 29, 2022, at her home in St. Johns, WA. Tiffany, the no muss no fuss one, simply slept away. Tiffany attended Zion Preparatory Academy and John Muir in the elementary years, Washington Middle School, and Cleveland High School. She earned her GED through the Goodwill Industries. She was all cheeze as the proudest graduate of South Seattle Community College in the field of Carpentry. Linda Franklin, who is loving called “Nana” by family and friends noted, “Tiffany came into the world on the Lord’s Day and departed also on a Sunday”. Between the dashes was a life full of promises and many accomplishments. Tiffany went on to work for Goodwill, Seattle Parks and Recreation in West Seattle. Then she worked construction for both WDC, Inc. and other businesses in Everett WA. She had other claims to fame as a member of a local Drill Team, an avid AAU Basketball player for Rainier Community Center, and a writer of poetry.
