As a young girl, Émilie lost her mother. The housekeeper tormented her and alienated her from her father, making life at home awful. As she left home, she received a large inheritance from her grandfather. She used it to found the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition, with attention to caring for poor children. Émilie diligently ran the finances for the congregation.
