Sister Emily entered the Ursuline Community in Kenmare in 1929. She was an Ursuline Sister of Belleville, Ill., before the merger of that community with the Ursulines of Mount Saint Joseph in October 2005. An educator for 45 years, Sister Emily taught at St. Peter and Paul School, Strasburg, 1934 to 1935, St. Agnes School, Kenmare, 1935 to 1936 and 1942 to 1948, and St. Anthony School, St. Anthony, 1936 to 1942. She especially enjoyed preparing children for their first Holy Communion. She also taught in Fairmont City, East St. Louis, Mounds, Belleville, Millstadt and Mascoutah, all in Illinois. She retired in 1976 at the Belleville Motherhouse, and became a resident at St. Joseph Villa at Mount Saint Joseph in September 2002. In her retirement, she took on the ministry of writing to prisoners and interceding for them with the authorities. She loved children and animals, and enjoyed reading the comics. Survivors include her brother, Joseph Zent, Mott; several nieces, and the members of her religious community.
