I hear a voice you cannot hear which says, I must not stay. I see a hand you cannot see, which beckons me away.

On October 29, 2021 the Lord called Emma Watson Dillon home to her heavenly place.

She was born o April 7, 1940 to the proud parents of Denman Watson, Sr. and Evlean Watson. She was one of eleven children. Emma was baptized at a young age in Midway Church Christ Holiness under the leadership of Rev. Hollins.

During her young adult years, she married Charles Dillon in 1963 and after this union she relocated to Rochester, New York.

Emma returned to Louisiana to care for her mother and sister.
