Obituary for Emma Louise Green
Emma Louise Dale, born to the late Joseph Doughty and Mary Jane Cheese on November 20, 1954 departed this life on Friday November 18, 2022 at home; she was born and raised in Harlem NY.
Emma retired from being a hardworking, dedicated employee from New York City Housing Authority and relocated to Syracuse, N.Y. where she met and married Rogelio Antonio Green; through this union she lovingly changed her name to Emma Louise Green.
Emma enjoyed dancing, making people laugh and shopping. She will be remembered for her cooking, love of life and bright smile. She was well known in her community for her willingness to lend a helping hand.
Emma is preceded in death by her brothers, Borsey (Duke), William (Lil Abner), Joseph (Little Joe).
Emma leaves behind to mourn her passing, but celebrate her life, her husband Rogelio Green whom she shared 5 years of marriage together; her daughter Ellarie Abraham, her sons Atiba Dale, Ajani (Lindsey) Hicks, John Daney Jr.; grandchildren, Shaneika, Steven, Taisha, Jaylen, and Jani; great grandchildren, Anaya and Kailahni; her sister Shookie (Beulah) O’Bryant, her brother Arthur Dale, & what would a family be without bonus sisters; Shirley Seth, Margie Kornegay sisters in law, Margaret and Priscilla. Emma has a host of nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, relatives and friend.
We may not have shared the same laughs or joy at the same time, but we can definitely say that we shared the same tears at the same time.
No one can change yesterday but we can look towards today and with GODS grace and mercy, tomorrow for something better.
What better time than the present time to make change.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.
