Emily Munns, 46 of Idaho Falls, Idaho, also known as Tweety Bird, Jabberwocky, Mom #1, and Blonde May, passed away Monday, December 19, 2022 at her home; she was under the care of Hands of Hope Hospice.

Emily was born July 14, 1976 in Menan, Idaho to Terrell Bruce Munns and Cheri Llanos Julian Munns. She was raised and attended schools in the Rigby area, graduating from Rigby High School in 1994.  She continued her education at Idaho State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1998; University of Tennessee, Chattanooga graduating as a Nurse Anesthetist; then earned a Doctorate of Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree from the University of Michigan.

She married Robert Cameron; they later divorced.

Emily worked as an RN at EIRMC and Mountain View Hospitals in Idaho Falls, she managed her husband’s medical practice in Somerset, Kentucky, worked as a CNRA at Anesthetist Associates of New Mexico; St Luke’s Hospital in Sun Valley, Idaho; and then Eagle Rock Anesthesia and Freeman Plastic Surgery Laser & MedSpa in Idaho Falls.

Emily appreciated the beauty of the outdoors; she enjoyed skiing, snowboarding, and hiking when weather permitted. She loved traveling, especially with family and friends. She could also be found doting over her nieces and nephews, attending their performances, going to social events, and playing games, especially Rummikub. When she could no longer do these, she watched football with them while attempting to eat as much as she could.

After Emily was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she went on a medical mission to Kenya in East Africa, something she always wanted to do, where she sponsored 3 orphans: Synthia, Fransica, and Velma.

She was an amazing sister, aunt and dog mom. She spent her life being the best she could be at everything she did, and helping as many people as she could, especially her sisters, nieces, and nephews.
