Emily Renae Landrum, 40, of Danville, gained her angels wings and preformed her “best jump ever” on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024.
Born July 10, 1984, in Burlington, she was the daughter of Jerry and Jeannine Landrum.
Emily worked as a CNA for several years and traveled with her work all over the United States. She was honored to extend her talents during the COVID-19 pandemic and effortlessly worked to care for her patients, even when she was dealing with her own health issues.
Emily LOVED to skydive. She took many “dives” and even mastered the “halo dive”. She was even certified to go on her own, without an instructor, and did so in may states. She enjoyed photography and making jewelry. She was a very caring, compassionate and dedicated person and was dedicated to her patients and their care.
She will be greatly missed by her parents, Jerry and Jeannine Landrum; brother Eric (Nicole) Landrum; niece and nephew Garrett Landrum and Aislinn Landrum; paternal grandmother Dortha Landrum; aunts, Mary (Ron) Lair and Lynn Kartel and cousins.
She was preceded in death by a son in infancy, maternal grandparents Glen and Ramona Ramsdell, paternal grandfather Virgil Landrum and uncles Ron Ramsdell and Larry Landrum.
