Emma Elizabeth Mitchell, at the age of 88, gently departed from this world in the comfort of her home in Irvin, Kentucky, on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, surrounded by her beloved family.
Born in Great Crossing, KY, on May 3, 1938, she was the daughter of the late James Young Sr. and Elizabeth Lewis Young.

Her memory is cherished and she is lovingly survived by her children and her dear siblings: Dorothy (James) Lyvers, Maggie Green, Ella Miller, Pearlena Holt, Delores (Pedro) Roution, Jacob Young, and Thomas Young.
Apart from her parents, Emma was preceded in death by her beloved children Charlene Ball, Tony Bradshaw, and Carolyn Bradshaw, as well as her siblings Lily Mae Beatty, Mattie Collins, and James Young Jr.
With a life grounded in kindness and love, Emma touched the hearts of many and will be deeply missed.

My favorite thing was coming down every weekend with Nana (Charlene Ball) and spending the night and going to all the thrift stores and having coffee with them in the morning before church. I also will miss her trying to convince me to leave one of my babies with her cause she'd take care of them. I know she would have been the best to them just like she always was to me.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
