Emily Sweet Vaughan, 94, passed away January 22, 2020, peacefully in her sleep after a short illness at her home in Keystone Heights, Florida with her daughters by her side.
She was a loving homemaker to two husbands who adored her. She was born into the Methodist church, which she served faithfully until the untimely death of her first husband, George C. Sweet.

She was also a member of Eastern Star and a much-loved Mother Advisor to Woodstock Chapter of Rainbow Girls. She came back to the Methodist church when she came to live with her daughter in Keystone Heights, where she regularly attended services.

She is survived by her two daughters Patricia S. Torres and Marien E. Cox; along with her step-daughters Kathryn V. Collins and Nanette V. Ramey.
