Mary Anne Emeott

Mary Anne Emeott, age 92 of Newnan, GA passed peacefully from this life to her eternal life on Wednesday August 21 at her daughter's home in Port Saint Lucie, FL. She has now been healed fully and is with her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Mary Anne was born in Thomaston, GA on April 8, 1932, and was the loving daughter of Samuel Jay and Willie Mae McBride. She grew up in Marietta, GA with her brother Jimmy (deceased) and sister, Emily McBride Wallace (now of Phoenix City, AL). She dearly loved her grandparents, Grady and Billie Johnson where she spent many days with them in Hapeville, GA. She graduated from Marietta High School in 1949 and continued her education at Massey Business College where she refined her business and administrative skills. Her professional career included positions at Georgia Institute of Technology, Eastern Airlines, B&P Lumber Company, and the United Way of Atlanta from which she retired in 1997.
Mary Anne spent her retirement years enjoying the things she loved the most, her church and her family. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Newnan, GA where she was devoted to her Sunday School class, the Women's Missionary Union, the VOE Choir, the Prayer ministry and spent countless hours organizing, cleaning, and ministering to those in need through the ministry of the church's Alpha Omega Mission Center (A.O. House). She was also very active in distributing God's written Word through the Women's Auxiliary of the Gideons International.
Mary Anne met the love of her life, James Thomas Emeott (Jim) in 1950 at a square dance while volunteering with the USO at the Atlanta Army Depot at Fort Gillem in Forest Park, GA. They were married there on July 2, 1950 and remained together until his passing in 2011. Together they have four children: James Thomas Emeott, Jr (Tommy), Michael Jay Emeott (Mike), William Earl Emeott (Bill), and Sandra Anne Emeott (Sandy). Additionally, she dearly loved her daughter-in-law's Cathy and Anna Marie. Her children gave her six precious grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren; each one her "favorite."
Mary Anne also leaves behind three sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law, and several nieces and nephews.
