She was born September 12, 1989 in Singapore, the daughter of Peter and Beverley (nee Moram) Biagioni. Emma had an incredible zest for life and lived each day to its fullest. Emma was a bright ray of sunshine, illuminating the lives of all who knew her and her signature radiant smile. She excelled in all of her many pursuits with unfailing drive and an unrivaled sense of determination that she possessed from a very young age. Among her many passions, her love of animals and the environment were foremost – going so far as to put her beliefs into action while studying abroad in Japan, fighting for the survival of the Blue Whales with the Greenpeace organization. Emma is survived by her loving parents, Peter and Beverley Biagioni of St. Charles; a sister Lizzie Biagioni; a brother, James Biagioni; paternal grandparents, Guiseppe and Valerie Biagioni of Essex, England; and a great-grandmother, Irene Stevens of Essex, England.
