Emily was an amazing lady and role model. She was well respected and loved her family and friends with all her heart. She was a gentle soul who displayed great integrity, compassion, elegance, and the ability to see the positivity in life. She never allowed age or illness to dictate her outlook and always believed in making the most of each day. Emily had strong values of strength, perseverance and quite leadership. With her beloved husband and partner John Kovacs Sr, they operated a farming business of tobacco and cash crops, in the Langton area since 1959. Prior to farming, Emily enjoyed hairdressing as well. Her interests included a beautiful passion for oil painting and love of trees, nature and her beloved pets. She also enjoyed her many travels with her daughter and friends throughout the country and around the world.
