Obituary
Emily “Em” Anne Holladay Haney peacefully passed at the age of 86 on August 8, 2020, in Mission Viejo California. She was born July 19th, 1934 in Washington D.C. Her family moved to Southern California when she was 8 years old. Em was a graduate of UCLA with a degree in Apparel & Merchandising. She married her sweetheart Marvin Robert Haney on August 18th, 1956. They were happily married for 64 years! She was most known for her position as a counselor at San Pedro Hospital for 18 years and also worked at the Rolling Hills General Store for many years. She loved to travel, ride horses, dance and play tennis. Whenever music was playing, no matter what kind, Em would always be dancing. She was famous for her Tahitian shimmy and taught her two children and four grandchildren her moves. Family members and friends always looked forward to their personalized cards she’d create on her computer and send with the Em’s Art logo on the back. Her sweet smile and bright eyes are seen in the thousands of photos that can be found in the albums she compiled over the years of her family & friends.
Organizations she was involved with include: Pi Beta Phi, San Pedro Memorial Hospital, Alcoholics Anonymous (49 years), House of Hope and Friends of Tahiti.
Em or “Tutu”, to her grandchildren, is survived by her husband Marvin Haney, her daughter Shawna Lyn Haney Larios & Michael Larios (Lake Tahoe, Nevada), and son Richard Thomas Haney and Catherine Ann Haney (Irvine, California). Her grandchildren that she adored: Tiana Dasia Larios (Curitiba, Brazil), Ian Robert Larios (Bali, Indonesia), Heather Nicole Haney (Irvine, California), and Mackenzie Lynn Haney (Phoenix, Arizona). She loved her world experiences as she traveled to 30+ countries over the years, including many countries to visit her grandchildren. Hawaii & Lake Tahoe were her favorite US vacation spots.
Her grandchildren describe her as funny, energetic, sassy, gregarious and full of life. Em gave her family and friends much care & advice. She will be missed by all that loved her.
There is no memorial service planned.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to: House of Hope.

I don’t know how to sum up a thirty year friendship with a lady like Emily. After Tom and Cathy became a couple, Marv and Emily became part of our family. We shared every holiday and also our special birthday month! Emily was an enthusiastic person, always on the go, always interested in what life had to offer her that day. She was a devoted mother and Turi! Her boundless energy, mischievous spirit, and sense of fun and adventure made her such a joy to be around. I loved how she could always laugh at herself and laugh with others. She was generous, warm, welcoming, and supportive. I am blessed for having had Tutu I’m my life and she will be greatly missed.

I haven’t seen Em (or Marv) probably since we left SoCal all those years ago. But both of them will always hold a little piece of my heart. Em’s good nature & kind behavior will always be an inspiration to me. My world is a smaller place!
Love,
