93 years. Countless prayers. Endless love for people. â¤ď¸
Earlier this week, Emilyâs grandmother âGrannyâ passed away at 93 years old.
If youâve ever felt loved, welcomed, or cared for at our shop⌠a lot of that started with Granny.
She was a loving Christian woman, a prayer warrior, and one of the hardest working people weâve ever known. Even into her 90s, she was always moving, cleaning, helping, and taking care of people around her. When we first opened Pop Around The Corner, Granny was right here helping clean and bag popcorn alongside us.
She loved her church family deeply, loved serving others, and loved her family well. Bison always called Granny his best friend, and honestly, anyone who met her probably felt a little like family too.
Tomorrow is her funeral, and because so much of our staff is family, we will still be OPEN but operating a little short staffed throughout the day. We ask for a little extra grace and patience with those working tomorrow as we celebrate and honor an incredibly special woman.
Thank you for loving our family through both the joyful and difficult seasons of life. Please keep Emily and our family in your prayers tomorrow.
