MOHAWK – Emberlynn Opal Elaine Arrigo, precious daughter of Ashley Ingraham and Francis Arrigo, III, was born on August 4, 2025, and passed peacefully in her parents’ arms on August 6th, 2025, at Albany Medical Center NICU. She was only two days old, yet she touched more hearts and changed more lives than most could in a lifetime.
Though her time on Earth was brief, Emberlynn filled our days with strength, courage, happiness, and more love than we ever thought possible. We will forever cherish the sound of her tiny cry, the sight of her father smiling and talking to her as he held her hands, the peace of holding her on her mother’s chest for five precious hours, and the bittersweet moment when her siblings and immediate family met and said goodbye to her. Emberlynn was a beautiful, perfect, mighty little warrior who fought with every breath to stay here with us.
She was named after two very strong women in her mother’s life — her grandmother, Tanya Lynn Ingraham, and her great-grandmother, Elaine Bouck — and she will forever carry their strength in her name and spirit…
