Dorothy Emmett

September 29, 1927 ~ November 28, 2022
Dorothy Emmett, 95, of Kasbeer passed away peacefully on November 28, 2022. Dorothy was born on September 29, 1927 in Williamsville, Illinois to Willie and Mildred (Vincent) Elmore. She spent most of her childhood in Kentucky. After attending school at Poplar Springs, Kentucky and Fancy Prairie, Illinois, she later married Robert Emmett and worked at Harper-Wyman for 34 years.
The most important things in Dorothy's life were her children and grandchildren. She was known for her beautiful garden. She enjoyed quilting, embroidering, and loved to fish.
Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, one daughter, one brother and one sister.
She is survived by her three children; Vickie Brown, Steven (Betty) Emmett, Larry (Cathy) Emmett, one sister Barbara Walton, 7 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.
Services for Dorothy will be at 11:00 a.m. Friday December 2, 2022 at Grant-Johnson Funeral Home in Princeton, Illinois. Visitation will be one hour prior to services. Pastor Derek Boggs will be officiating. Pallbearers are Brett Russelburg, Blake Jacobs, Shawn Emmett, Scott Cornman, Nick Sterling, and Joe Louis. Memorials may be directed to the family.
Very sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing, as my Parents would be. They were longtime friends of Bob and Dorothy, and Dad considered having Bob working for him at the Elevator as a blessing because of his ability to fix things and take part in the long harvest hours.
We remember Dorothy for her friendship and generosity of spirit. She was joyful in the simple things of life. Her spirit and sense of humor will be with us always.
