ZIMMERMAN, EMILEIGH PAETYN DIANNE, 17 , passed away on October 4, 2020. Emileigh was born on August 12, 2003 in Wichita to Kirk D. and Sharna M. "Crawley" Zimmerman and lived in Andover her entire life. She attended Andover Central and was on the Cheerleading Squad there. She enjoyed doing art for her own pleasure and was very talented at it but her favorite hobby was hanging out with her friends; they had recently taken up skateboarding and scootering in old town. Emileigh was a very bright young lady with a wonderful future.  She very much wanted to be a Pediatric Oncologist. She loved Disney and the family vacations there; except for the "scary" rides and could live on Iced Coffee and chocolate. Emileigh was very funny, amazingly caring and loved kids; especially her niece and nephew Gwen and Maddox. She had the best dance moves, an infectious laugh and always stood up for what she believed in and what was right.

E mileigh is survived by her parents Kirk and Sharna; her twin sister and best friend Haleigh; her older sister Jessica; grandparents Dianne Zimmerman, Bede Crawley(Margo); aunts and uncles Jesse Crawley(Vanessa), Allyson Crawley, Jason Green, Erik and Terri Zimmerman; surrogate uncle Mike Carr; niece and nephew Gwen and Maddox; cousins Miles Crawley, Alex and Noah Zimmerman and many other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandfather Jay Zimmerman and uncle and aunt Kris Zimmerman(Dani).
