Emily was born on December 18, 1912 in the district of Content in Clarendon Jamaica W.I. to the late Herbert and Ellen Grant. She completed her primary education at Brandon Hill Primary School in Clarendon Jamaica W.I. after which she was self-employed owning a crockery and dry goods store. She was very generous to the people in the district, providing food for those in need and in other areas as often as she could.

She had 3 children, Archibald, Lynette, (deceased) and Pearline. She accepted the Lord Jesus as her personal Savior and was baptized in the Top Hill Baptist Church, in Clarendon. She was a faithful believer who truly loved the Lord. She retired from business, and migrated to the US in 1980 and lived with her daughter Pearline and her husband in Queens, New York, where she attended the Evangel Baptist Church in Laurelton.

In December 1999 she relocated to Palm Coast, FL. and transferred her membership to the First Baptist Church of Palm Coast in March 2000. She remained active in Ladies CL 1 and in Women and Mission until she became ill in 2006.

She is survived by her son Archibald, daughter Pearline, son-in-law Herbert, 18 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great grandchildren and host of relatives and friends to cherish her memory.

She was a wonderful mother and friend who will be missed by all who know and love her. We were truly blessed to have her 98 years, may she rest in peace.

Services are in the care and trust of Craig Flagler Palms Funeral Home.
