Emily R. Long
d. August 16, 2018
Emily Ridgle Long, 76, of Savannah, Ga passed away in her home August 14, 2018, surrounded by her family, after a long illness.
Born January 11, 1942 to Johnnie and Jane Ridgle in Williamsburg County, South Carolina and officially named June 27, 1946 (her daddy called her "Baby Girl")!
I have been told that if you picked on her, her brother Bernie, her sister Dianne, or had something bad to say about her family, you would soon regret it.
She graduated from H.V. Jenkins High School's second senior class in 1960 and went into a career in nursing earning her license in October of 1969 and continued that career with Memorial Medical Center (through 1994) and several nursing homes around the Savannah area until she retired in 2018.
During a trip to Trader Louie's in the late 60's, a young fellow named George asked her to dance. She married him on November 28, 1970 and had four children: Lee, Kevin, Melissa, and Lindsay. Between Kevin and Melissa, she has five grandchildren Juliann, Ashley, April, Eliza, and Sophie. Her "other daughter" Anna decided to marry her oldest son in 1994.
Survivors: husband, George L. Long of Savannah, Ga; children, Lee Long and his wife Anna of Savannah, Ga, Kevin Long and his wife Kim of Savannah, Ga, Melissa Rhoney of Columbus, MS, Lindsay Long of Savannah, Ga; grandchildren, Juliann, April, and Ashley Robertson, Eliza Long of Savannah, Ga and Sophie Harris of Columbus MS; sibling, John B. Ridgle of Ruffin, SC, and Dianne Yarbrough of Bluffton, SC; In-Laws siblings, Greg Senn of Savannah, Ga, and Jennifer Gandy of Savannah, Ga; nieces, Tracy Whitman of Lowell, IN, Vicki Parker of Waycross, Ga, and Kenna Robertson of Hardeeville, SC; and her only nephew Jamie Gandy of Savannah, Ga.
She was preceded in death by her parents Jane Morris Ridgle 1990 and Johnnie Mcduffy Ridgle 1992, mother-in-law Ruth Senn 2006, father-in-law Willie Senn 2013, sister-in-law Donna B. Ridgle 2016, sister-in-law Dianne L. Mahany 2002, son-in-law John David Rhoney Sr. 2005.
