Emma Jean Mason (Lansing)

Emma Jean Mason made her transition from life on earth to her everlasting home with her Lord on Tuesday, September 29, 2020 in Lansing, Michigan surrounded by her only child, sisters, and other family members at the age of 61 years. She was born August 28, 1959 in Portageville, Missouri to Roosevelt and Genetter Woods.

Emma’s family relocated to Lansing, Michigan when she was a teenager, where she attended Everett High School. She was a proud member of Solid Rock Full Gospel Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Marlon Carter. Some of Emma’s favorite pastimes were cooking and traveling. However, most of all she loved both her biological and church families.

Emma was a good-hearted, caring, friendly, and loving woman. She loved helping those in need. Often proving shelter, a good meal or simply a listening ear. Emma also loved playing games, such as volleyball, but especially playing family feud at the family get-togethers. So,
it goes without saying that Emma was extremely fun to be around, and greatly loved by both family and friends.
