John Joseph Angelo Emma Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Raffeo - DiCecco Memorial Home, Inc. on Dec. 2, 2025.
John Joseph Angelo Emma, of Doylestown, PA passed away on November 24th, 2025 at the age of 79. Born in Pittston, PA, he was the son of Angelo and Margaret (Terrano) Emma.
John started his career as a traveling sales and repair man for the Singer Company, and later had his own store, Singer Sewing Center, located in East Street Center in Doylestown. He loved his family, football and food. He was happy to watch any NFL or college football game and loved cooking shows. He passed his love of cooking on to his own children, and while he was an amazing cook, it wasn't until he lived on his own that he cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. His favorite role, above all, was being a grandfather.
John is survived by his son Angelo Emma and daughter in law Jen (Chalfont), daughter Elizabeth Andersen and son in law David (Sellersville), as well as grandchildren Tyler, Ryan, Violet, Zion, Aria, and Samantha. He is predeceased by sisters and brothers, Gracie, Gertie, Angie, Sam, Joe, and Carmie, parents Angelo and Margaret, and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Entrusted to Raffeo-DiCecco Memorial Home. (610) 630-3259
