Emmaline F. Gordon

Fitchburg – Emmaline Faith Gordon, 29, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2024, in Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston after a month-long battle with pneumonia. Emma was born in Leominster on April 14, 1994, a daughter of David and Jennifer (Wilson) Gordon. She graduated from Lunenburg High School in 2012 and was currently working as a Medical Assistant at the Premier Foot and Ankle Center at Saint Vincent Hospital. In her youth Emma was a talented figure skater, competing until about age 16, when she hung up her skates to begin her passion of working in childcare. She adored children as much as they adored her; she worked part time for LUK, the YMCA and various ABA centers. Always selfless, Emma put the needs of others before her own; she never judged and always had the ability to make everyone around her feel comfortable. Emma loved all creatures big and small, and over the years has adopted and cared for many animals. She was able to lighten any situation with her quick wit, sense of humor and will fondly be remembered for reminding everyone how funny she actually was. It is no surprise she was the most incredible Aunt to her nieces and nephews, who affectionately called her “Auntie Em.” She always took the time to let everyone know how special they were to her. Emma was a fighter. Throughout the struggles in her life, she persevered by immense personal strength to create a wonderful life for her beloved son Gus. She was the most loving and nurturing mother; Gus was everything to her. Emma will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her, her memory will be kept alive through her son and the stories her family will continue to share. She is survived by her son Gustav “Gus” Deming; her parents, David and Jennifer Gordon; her siblings, Harrison Gordon, Christian Gordon, and Gwynevere Gordon, all of Fitchburg; her nieces and nephews, Colton John Gordon, Ben Lapierre. Christian Gordon, Jr., Wynona and Awylda Gordon-Mauro; and many aunts, uncles, extended family, and dear friends. Calling hours will be held in the Isabelle and Anderson Funeral Home, 316 Clarendon St., Fitchburg on Sunday, February 18, from 2:00 – 5:00 PM.
