Emily Eleanor Badger, 97, passed away on Thursday August 29th, 2019 in the comfort of her own home in Santa Rosa, CA. Born in Napa, raised in San Francisco and a resident of Santa Rosa since 1975, she was a devout catholic woman who loved to travel and go to luncheons with her church friends. She was married 79 years to James Badger, who passed in 1997, but always considered herself still married to the love of her life, even with his passing.

(Cindy) Badger; 6 grandchildren, Danielle Nolan, Shannon Nolan, Christine Badger, Charles Badger, Elisa Snow, and Renee Badger; 6 great grandchildren, Joshua Nolan, Kassy Badger, Robert Kintz Jr., Brittany O' Brien, Jade Kintz, and Jordan Snow; 2 great-great grandchildren, Silas O' Brien and James Lancaster; and 2 pets, her dog Chico and cat Kitty-Cat. Emily was preceded in death by her parents, Oresta and Elisa Rosia; her husband, James Badger; her daughter, Diane Nolan; and her grandchildren, James Nolan, Leanne Nolan, and Johnathan Nolan.

Emily was a resilient, strong woman with an inspiring devotion to her faith. She lived a full life and was ill only for a short time. She was surrounded by loved-ones and her pets at her time of passing, and left this world in peace.
