Born June 10, 1929 in Aliquippa, she was a daughter of the late Nick and Jennie (Parrish) Babich.

Together with her husband, she volunteered her time singing duets and playing accordion at local nursing homes.

In addition to her parents, Emily was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Ronald L. Bateman; two brothers, Sam and Ted Babich; and her sister, Norma Babich.

She will be greatly missed by her son, Timothy Bateman, Brighton Twp.; daughter, Bonnie Liston, Chippewa Twp.; grandchildren, Tyler (Erin) Bateman, Huntington, WV; Jennifer (Jason) Eaton, Brighton Twp.; great-grandchildren, Fiona Bateman and Harper, Aubrey, and Claire Eaton. A new great-granddaughter, Margot Bateman, is due next month.
