Emily Halm Obituary
Born: February 7, 1997
Died: June 24, 2021
It is with great sadness we announce that Emily Catherine Halm, of Chicago IL, was taken from this place on June 24, 2021. She was only 24 years old. Born on February 7, 1997 to Jennifer (nee Dimoff) and Martin Halm in Hinsdale, IL, Emily was a gift to all that knew her. She was beautiful and found beauty in everything around her. She was witty and funny, bringing laughter and joy to her friends and family. She was courageous, persevering and inspiring, as she bravely faced the challenges life brought to her while successfully nearing her graduation at the Aveda Institute. She was creative, talented and bold. But most of all, she was loved. Truly loved. Emily was a loving and caring daughter to her parents Jennifer and Marty, and a cherished sister and best friend to her sister Sarah. Emily was the first grandchild to be welcomed into our family. She is also survived by her grandparents, John and Janet Dimoff and Susan Halm, her "Ami." She will be truly missed by her aunts and uncles: Jillian Dimoff, Julia Dimoff and Phil Arquette, Kevin and Grace Halm, Daniel and Amy Halm, T.C. and Michelle Halm, and all of her cousins who loved her dearly. Emily was predeceased by her beloved paternal grandfather, Robert Halm, and her partner and soulmate Sean Bruske, who she loved immensely. A celebration of life will be held 2 to 8pm, with words of remembrance being shared at 7pm, on Thursday, July 1st at Hallowell & James Funeral Home, 1025 W. 55th St., Countryside. Funeral service and interment private. For Info: 708-352-6500 or HJFunerals.com.

Dear my sweet sweet M.
I never wanted to imagine what a world without you would look like! It has been 6 months now and it is still unbelievable! When I met you i thought you were a beautiful fragile butterfly, who sincerely made this world a more beautiful place. Your oh so gentle soul touched me to my core and I could understand how your mom just wanted to wrap her arms around you to keep you safe and to hug you forever! You were beautiful inside and out! I consider myself lucky to have met you and you will never be forgotten! You always were an angel!!! I love you forever my sweet M.!!

Dear Halm Family, My deepest sympathies for the passing of Emily. Emily took piano lessons from me at Music Makers of Western Springs. I believe she was in 1st grade when she started. I remember her kindness and fun spirit. I also recalled she loved exotic seafood. I taught Emily and Sarah up until my son was born in 2009. Later on my husband Junichi Sato taught Emily as she came back to the piano. My husband reflected how kind Emily was. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May Emily's loving and kind spirit live on in us as we cherish our memories with her. With loving kindness, Regina and Junichi Sato
