On February 20, 2003, at two o'clock in the morning, Emily Beth Kotarski of Gloucester City died in a house fire. She was 20 years old and a single mother.
Emily was a dedicated Girl Scout for 12 years. During those years, Emily cut the ribbon to open the Gloucester City Historical Society, helped clean the Gloucester City public parks, and aided with the annual Helping Hand Food Pantry Thanksgiving Food Drive. After graduating from senior scouting she became the leader of a Daisy troop for a year and a half.
In the year 2000, Emily received her Gold Award, the highest award for a Girl Scout to receive.
This was despite having suffered from Cerebral Palsy since birth. Emily was a special girl. Sometimes, the good do die young.
