Emali Renee Sallee

Emali was born in Waterville on March 10th, 2005, a daughter to Heidi Lynn and David Wayne Sallee. She lived in Lewiston and attended local schools, graduating from Oak Hill High School. She was strong willed and went after her passions with pride. She obtained her CNA license through Clover Manor and worked at Interim Healthcare as a CNA. She loved her coworkers and all the residents that she met during her career.

Emali had many hobbies from shopping, going to the beach, spending quality time with family, friends and her beloved baby Elianna. Emali had a love for dark humor and enjoyed making and watching TikTok videos. She was a "lazy" bougie kind of girl. She loved the finer things in life but could always be caught in her Lululemon, sweatpants and crop tops. She adored her mom and sister and was always looking to them for a smile or a laugh. Emali had so many attributes that made her who she is, an unforgettable young woman.

Emali leaves behind her parents, her baby girl Elianna Mae Sallee, her sister Eva Lorraine Sallee, her brother Darian Allen Sallee, her best friends Alyssa Riley Teska, Kira Ann Gagne and Isaac Robert Crone.
