Emma Brianne Helphenstine

Emma Brianne Helphenstine, of South Lebanon, Ohio, earned her angel wings as she peacefully slipped from this world Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at the young age of 17.

Monday, May 23, 2005, a princess was born to Scott and Lisa (nee Cash) Helphenstine. This beautiful girl was named Emma Brianne, meaning "whole" or "universe", perfect for a life that touched so many hearts. At just one month old, Emma received a precious gift that kept giving for 17 years. The family of a newborn, Victoria Grace, made the decision to gift Emma with her heart that was strong and ready to live life. "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true." -Cinderella

With an optimistic outlook on life and love of adventure, Emma had a love of roller coasters that would often shock new friends. The faster the ride, the more twists and turns, the higher the hill, brought the biggest and brightest smile to her face every time. Emma was small, but her attitude was mighty. She chose to seek adventure, never allowing anyone or anything stand in her say. "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell. And for once it might be grand to have someone understand I want so much more than they've got planned." - Belle

Emma was perhaps the most efficient and organized person you would ever meet. Even her fidget toys are systematically placed in trays. With an entrepreneurial mindset, Emma looked for ways to make life brighter for others. She would take old worn-out wooden toys, repaint them and give them new purpose as she would gift them to children just to see them smile. Emma understood her actions could make the world a brighter place. "When the raindrops come tumbling, remember you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine." - Snow White

If you knew Emma, you met a warrior princess that could make you smile. The impact she had on your life will last a lifetime. "There's just no telling how far I'll go." - Moana

Emma is survived by: parents, Scott and Lisa Helphenstine; siblings, Taylor (Trey Hastings) Cash, Keegan Helphenstine, and Harper Helphenstine; nephew, Cody Riley; paternal grandparents, Thomas and Barbara Helphenstine; maternal grandparents, Lawrence Cash, and Kathleen (Greg) Senior; aunts and uncles, Jennifer (Sean) Flynn, Jeff (Jennifer) Cash, Megan (Doug) Partin, Jeremy (Sara) Helphenstine, and Casey (TJ) Foster; special family friend, Patricia (Mike) Meagher; and many loving family members and friends.

Visitation will be Tuesday, June 7, 2022 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Mueller Funeral Home, 6791 Tylersville Road, Mason, Ohio 45040. Please join the family in celebrating Emma's life by wearing purple and pink.
