Emily R. Landis, 93, died peacefully of natural causes May 31, 2020, at the South Mountain Memory Care, Emmaus. She was the wife of the late Samuel N. Landis Sr. who died in 2006. She was the daughter of the late George and Mary (Gulla) Benedick.

Early in her life, she worked at Rodale Mfg. in Emmaus and later became a housewife.

She was a devoted Catholic and lifelong member of St. Ann Church, Emmaus. Her faith and her family were the most wonderful gifts in her life. She loved her family deeply and always made them her priority. “Grammy” was especially happy spending time with her eight grandchildren or relaxing in her chair while cheering for the Phillies or the Eagles. Her faith gave her strength during difficult times and now God saw she was tired and called her home.

She is survived by children, Juanita Wall (Bill), Samuel N. Jr. (Alisa), Debra Skrip (Michael); grandchildren, Lisa Dychala (John), Billy Wall (fiancée Shelly Watson), Kimberly Grate (Jason), Marlea McAdoo (David), Elliot Billman (fiancée Jill Bendekovits), Dana Hashagen (Jeffrey), Kelsey Doney (Richard); great-grandchildren, Megan DePalma (Dan), Kaitlyn Dychala, Jessica Palencar (Anthony), Alexis Wall, Shaelyn Maines, Maxon and Avery Hashagen, Tucker and Haley Doney; great-great-grandchildren: Cayden DePalma and Parker Palencar. She was predeceased by an infant son, Eugene, a daughter, Carolyn Hunsicker, a grandson, Trever; brothers, George and Franny Benedick; sisters, Mary Billie and Celia Billie.
