Emma's greatest joy was having her daughter Sandy, who was her "rock" and always by her by her side for countless days for so many years, day after day caring for her Emma, visiting, assisting, transporting, and comforting her until Emma's last breath. Emma was married to Robert James McClain for over 35 years, the father of her six children. Along side of Sandy was Randy Allen whom she was with for over 19 years, he never left her lonely side, doing all he could for her even with his health not being 100%. Randy loved Emma with all his heart.

Emma was a devoted mother leaving behind a legacy of love with her six children: Robert James McClain, Jr; Ralph Douglas McClain; Cindy Sue McClain; Cathy Lynn Bainbridge; Sandra Ann Wilkins, all of Marcellus, and Jeffery James McClain of FL.

A women of deep faith, quiet strength, and heart rooted in kindness. She enjoyed life's simple pleasures- spending time with her family, cooking, crafting, dancing, and sharing countless cherished moments with her many grand and great- grandchildren.
