Emajane Crossley “EJ”

Emajane passed away September 7th, 2022 surrounded by her family. She was 83.

She was born July 13, 1939 in Lincoln, NE to June Titus McKinney and Charles McKinney. She was the youngest of eight siblings.

She met Harry and soon after, got married. They were happily together for 12 years before he passed away. They both enjoyed watching and attending the Husker football games together.

One of her favorite things was her participation in the activities department at Lancaster Manor. In her 32 years of being there, she was involved in the Drama Club, organizing crafts and activities, decorating the bulletin boards for the facility and just about anything she could help with. Everyone at Lancaster Manor knew who EJ was and they all loved her.

EJ loved her family and friends with all her heart. She very much enjoyed our family get togethers, especially the family Christmas parties we held. Christmas was always her favorite holiday.

She will be loved and missed by so many. Her contagious laugh will forever be a memory we all hold on to.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday September 16, 2022 at 10:00am at Mercy City Church; 6224 Logan Avenue in Lincoln, Nebraska. A private family graveside will be held in Alvo, Nebraska at a later date.
