Emma Jean Register

Emma Jean Register passed away at the age of 90 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was born on October 10, 1934 in Eldorendo, GA to the late Nettie Walls and Floy Kay. She grew up in Jackson County and later moved to Tallahassee after her marriage. Jean, as she preferred to be called, was married for 64 years to Randolph and they were constant companions who enjoyed a good life together. They loved camping and after retirement, they spent much of their time in Maggie Valley, where they enjoyed the company of fellow campers and Tallahassee friends who came to visit. Jean was always stylish and impeccably dressed. Randolph made sure she had what she wanted, and she was content with the life she lived. Jean worked in retail and retired from Dilliard’s. She was a faithful church member at Evangel Assembly of God and had many close and dear friends there. Jean was a wonderful mother of two sons. She was Meme to her grandchildren and was a beloved grandmother and great-grandmother. She was kind, sweet, caring and funny. She loved music, dancing and was often heard humming a song. She was a great cook and many of her recipes are family favorites requested at Sunday dinners and Holidays. She loved her family and friends dearly. After Randolph’s passing, when she could no longer remain in her home, she moved to Azalea Garden’s Memory Care, where she was loved and cared for by the staff. We are grateful for the care and attention she received from Azalea Gardens and from Big Bend Hospice. We are saddened by our loss, but she is finally at peace. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Randolph, her parents and brother. She is survived her sons, Ricky (Debbie) and Billy (Ruth); grandchildren, Christopher (Bradi), Robin, Kyle (Amber), Shawn, Brandy (Mike) and Harley; great-grandchildren, Pierce, Harper, Emmalyn Kay, Carson, Emily-Clare, Aislyn and Ava; sisters, Edna Ruth, Rhea and a host of loving nieces, nephews and friends. Funeral services will be held at Abbey Funeral Home Chapel on Friday, October 25, 2024 @11:00AM (4037 N. Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32303). Burial will follow in Tallahassee Memory Gardens. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Big Bend Hospice.
