GoFundMe campaign set up to help Mohler family

| July 2, 2020 2:38 PM

An online GoFundMe fundraising campaign to help the family of Emily Mohler, who was stabbed to death Tuesday morning at her home near Olney along with her 3-year-old daughter Piper and her boyfriend Cody Nevins, allegedly by Mohler’s ex-husband Kameron Barge, has drawn immediate public input, raising nearly $30,000 of a $40,000 goal in less than 24 hours.

“Funds will be used by the family for Emily and Piper’s end-of-life needs and to help give Emily’s children the life she dreamed for them,” according to the GoFundMe page.

Emily was well-known in the Whitefish community, where she worked as a self-employed photographer and goldsmith.

“As a community we are all completely shaken by this senseless act,” the GoFundMe narrative stated.

Emily is survived by four children, her mother Jan, father Tom, brothers Josh (Mandy), Sam (Cora) and Isaac (Alexis), and nephews and nieces.

“And as the long road of grief and pain begins, know that Emily would want you all to live out loud,” the GoFundMe page posted. “She would want you to support other women in circumstances of domestic violence and fight for love and inclusion for all.”

Court filings detailed a long history of alleged domestic abuse by Kameron Barge. Most recently Emily had filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against Kameron after a reported incident on Memorial Day at Stillwater Lake.

Remaining funds after end-of-life costs for Emily and Piper will be managed by the intended guardians of Emily’s children to help with living and educational costs. Funds will go into a designated bank account to be dispersed at the discretion of the guardians.
