In Loving Memory of Emerald Rose June Boese

With profound sadness and broken hearts, we gather in memory of Emerald Rose June Boese, a beloved soul whose life was tragically cut short in a devastating head-on collision that shook the Sand Springs community. On what began as an ordinary day, everything changed in an instant when a deadly crash forced the shutdown of a local roadway—a tragedy that left family, friends, and first responders deeply affected.

Emerald was the one person killed in the collision, which also left at least one other individual injured. Multiple emergency agencies responded swiftly to the scene, including the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Berryhill Fire Department, Sand Springs Fire Department, and Mercy EMS. Their coordinated efforts reflected the gravity of the situation and the urgency to bring aid, clarity, and safety to the heartbreaking scene.
