Emma moved to the La Porte area in 1951 from Tennessee. Much of her career was spent with American Home Foods before retiring with Howmet.  She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church, La Porte and in her younger days was involved in the activities of the church. Emma enjoyed listening to Classic Country music, dancing with Glen, and gardening. She adored her old dog Shane and since red was her favorite color, she loved red roses.

Emma was preceded in death by her son, Michael Hammons, sisters, Irene "Cotton" Daughtery, Bernice Massengill, Josephine Duncan and grandchild, Eric Levondowski.
