Emma Musselman Obituary

Emma Jean Musselman, age 98, of McCordsville, passed away on December 8, 2025. A native of Elwood, Indiana, she was born on April 28, 1927, to Cecil Knotts and Carrie (Anderson) Knotts. Jean spent many years as a resident of Fortville and moved to McCordsville in her later years. On January 6, 1947, she married Myrneth "Myrnie" Musselman. Together, they lived and farmed in the Mohawk area until 1969. Jean and Myrnie were the devoted parents of two daughters, Sandy and Linda.

Early in life, Jean worked at Delco-Remy in Anderson and RCA in Indianapolis, but her greatest dedication was to her family, a role she deeply cherished. She was actively involved in the Order of the Eastern Star and served as a Brownie leader in Fortville. A longtime member of Mohawk United Methodist Church, Jean taught Bible school and participated in church activities. She enjoyed playing Bunco with the Dizzy Dozen Bunco Club, tending to her flowers in the garden, and shopping.

Jean is survived by her daughter, Sandra (Tim) Plank of McCordsville; son-in-law, David (Debbie) Jones of Lakeland, FL; grandchildren, Ritch (Jenita) Bonisa of Indianapolis; Stacey (Kyle) Lazzell of Carmel; Adam (Tonya) Jones of Livonia, MI; Krista (Brandon) Steeno of Greenfield; Josh (Holly) Plank of Greenfield; Ashley (Mike) Schenck of Fortville; great-grandchildren, Mikala (Dalton) Perry; Kaci Gillespie; Maddie (Tyler) Hart; Lainey Rhodes; Travis Jones; Emily Jones; Conner Bonisa; Jocelyn Bonisa; Colton Plank; Shailynn Steeno; Brody Steeno; Easton Schenck; Gentry Plank; Wyatt Schenck; Brooks Schenck; five great great-grandchildren, Brantley & Bryson Perry; Ky'Aire Gillespie; Graham & Sonny Hart. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband mentioned above; daughter, Linda Jones; sister, Geraldine Knotts; brother, Gerald Knotts.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Erlewein Mortuary & Crematory, 1484 W. US Hwy 40, Greenfield, IN 46140.
