Emogean Amerson's Obituary
Emogean Moore Amerson went to be with the Lord on Wednesday October 22, 2014 at her daughter's residence in Los Angeles, California.
She was born on January 6, 1928 in Stuart, Virginia to the late Roland and Beatrice Moore. She was married to Raymond Amerson on July 22, 1950; to this union four children were born.
Emogean retired from the Charleston Area Medical Center where she worked in the nursery taking care of newborn babies. Momma Jean, as she was affectionately known, enjoyed volunteering, working puzzles, watching every judge program on television, sitting on her porch conversating with her neighbors, and talking on the phone with her many friends.
Momma Jean was a faithful member of Ebenezer Baptist Church and a member of the Deaconess Board. When she relocated to Los Angeles, she enjoyed receiving the weekly church bulletins.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in her death by her husband, two brothers, and two sisters.
Momma Jean truly loved her family. Those left to cherish her memories include daughters, Joyce Yvonne and Karen Jarai; sons Raymond Jr. (Lynda) and Vincent Lamont (Montessa); all of Los Angeles, CA; grandchildren: Angela Yvette, Taya Lynette, Jermaine Devonne, Jeramy Va'Sean, Naiya Annette, and her namesake, Malia Jean, all of Los Angeles; four brothers Frank (Sarah), Michael (Lucy) and Ricky (Nancy) Moore of Stuart, VA; Joe (Margie) Moore of Dover, Delaware; sisters Berneice (Willie), Virginia (Grady), Iris (James) of Stuart, VA; Mattie Sue (Brock) of Brooklyn, New York; Dollie Ruth of Laurelton New York; brother-in-law Curley Jr. (Helen) of Cleveland, Ohio; sister-in-law Pauline Brown of Laurelton, New York; a host of nieces, nephews and cousins; and the dogs, Kenya and Dominoe.
Services will be held Saturday November 1, at 1 p.m. at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Charleston, with Rev. Dr. Braxton Broady officiating. Interment will follow in Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens, Cross Lanes.
The family will receive friends from 12 to 1 p.m., at the church.
Arrangements are in the care of Keller Funeral Home, Dunbar.
