Emilia Quinn Sears
March 15, 2020 ~ April 22, 2020
On April 22, 2020, Emilia Quinn Sears became an Angel. Not too many people get a chance to see or know a miracle, but we’ve had the honor of living with our miracle for 37 amazing days.
Given the current state of the world, we wanted to share a few things to let everyone know a little about Emilia’s personality as no one was ever able to physically meet her other than her mom, dad, and amazing care team at Riley Hospital.
– She was the strongest and bravest person we’ve ever met. There was no challenge too big for her to take on.
– She was freaking adorable, feisty, and a Fighter!
– All of her care team loved her and fought over who would take care of her every night.
– She looked just like her mother and had her father’s “never quit” attitude.
– She’s our role model and taught us how to be stronger and better parents/humans.
– She gave us a why that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives and live each day to the fullest to honor her.
We are so proud of the strength and bravery she showed with her fight and letting her parents know when it was time to let go. We are so thankful she gave us time as a family to honor her and see her off pain free in her mother’s arms.
She will be forever remembered by her parents, Chris and Felicia Sears; maternal grandmother, Genie Cabello; paternal grandparents, Anita and Dale Sears; great grandmothers, Carolyn Bundy and Geri Sears; aunts, Kristin (Greg) Donofrio and Sarah Cabello; a large extended family including great aunts, great uncles and many cousins.
A small private service will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2020, at the O’Riley Funeral Home, 6107 S. East Street, Indianapolis. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to NEC Society necsociety.org or to Riley Children’s Hospital.

Quinn, I’m going to miss praying with you and watching you respond by moving your arms and hands. Tell Daddy that I can’t wait to see Him and you again. I’ve already instructed the prayer warriors to ask Daddy to keep your mommy and daddy comforted. They’ll miss you, and we promise to make sure they are all right while they are still with us. Love you, Quinn….Aunt Stephanie
Felicia and Chris, your amazing daughter made a tremendous impact on us all in her short time on this earth. I hope you know that we are thinking of you all and sending you love and healing thoughts.
Emilia Quinn, you came into this world as a bright shining star. From the first minute you were fierce and feisty…tiny and mighty. You stole my heart right away. I checked in on you so many times each day I lost count. I got to see you react to your daddy’s voice by opening one eye and holding your mommy’s pinkie. So cute and sweet. What a beauty…with your long eyelashes, a cute nose and a faux hawk (as your daddy called it). You touched so many lives with your amazing spunk. You will never be forgotten. You are missed, our little angel, but I know that you are safe, happy and shining down on us. Until we see each other again…all my love, Grandma Sears (Anita)
Emilia, this is your Great Grandma Sears GG for short , I never got to meet you in person but you captured my heart on the camera. Your Daddy and daddy holding you was the most precious thing. I hope you are at peace now little one. My heart and prayers are with you always. You are our special angel and will be missed. Love you Be with God. GG.
The short time with Emilia was an incredible gift and we will always grateful how you shared your magnificent baby girl with us. She helped us all broaden our capacity to love. You have so much to be proud of. Love, Aunt Darla and Steve
Chris, Felicia, and Emilia you are in my thoughts and prayers. Emilia touched so many people’s lives in the short time she was on this earth. The impact she made should make you proud. Healing thoughts as you move forward.
Peace and comfort for the family at this time of sorrow.
I love you, Felicia and Chris. I wish I was there. My thoughts are always with you.
Chris and Felicia, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Emilia will forever be an angel watching over you. Emilia thank you for blessing us with your presence.
I peeped in on you Emilia so often and watched for more hours than I know. I would pray for you that God would give you the strength to keep getting stronger and bigger. I talked to you telling you that you were such a fighter and keep fighting because your mommy and daddy loved you so much as well as many others who never got the chance to meet you in person. We were all praying for you. Watching on Nicview when Felicia and Chris got to hold Emilia was the best. You could see the love they were sharing with her as they bonded with her with the skin on skin snuggles and the smiles on their faces. Such precious moments to be a part of with them. My love and prayers are with you guys always. Aunt Lisa
I think that is Felicia’s hand being held byEmilia’s hand. She was actually gripping her mommy’s finger.
Much love and prayers sent Felicia and Chris. I pray for strength and comfort, peace and understanding… you will be in our prayers, you are loved on from afar.
Felicia & Chris- My thoughts and prayers are with you today and everyday. Though she may have been on this Earth for a short time, she will be forever in the hearts of the people she touched. I know she will be in my heart always.
We peeked in on Emilia many times and my whole office, my sister, some of my friends who experienced what you did were all praying. She is in the arms of Jesus now and we will get to finally meet her and hug her some day. Our hearts are broken for you and we want you to know we are praying for you and we love you both!
Chris and Felicia, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Sending love and peace.
What a beautiful memorial service today. We’re thankful to be with you all . Your words were a testament to how blessed your baby girl Emilia is. We love you very much.
Uncle Don and Aunt Kate are there in our hearts. Sending all our love and thoughts. Hearts were breaking, following baby Emilias time here. Take care and Love !
Felicia & Chris, You’re in my heart, in my thoughts & in my prayers. Sending you big hugs, love & blessings.
Chris and Felicia, the service was beautiful and honored Emilia’s life well. I can attest to her feistiness. That is one thing I’ll remember most of her. She was such a beautiful baby girl and she has wonderful parents that loved her and selflessly made choices on her behalf. I’ll be praying for you. ❤️ Pam (RN)
Chris and Felicia, You are in the thoughts and prayers of the Newcomer Program family. Sending love to you and your family during this tragic time.
