Emily Luntsford Long's Obituary
Emily Luntsford Long, 45, of Huntersville went to be with the Lord December 4, 2023 at Atrium Northeast Medical Center.
She was born on August 2, 1978 in Johnson City, TN to Janet Marie Luntsford and the late Samuel Guy Luntsford.
Emily grew up in Hendersonville, NC, pointing out daily, the simple aspects of living. She graduated from Western Carolina University in 2000, where she met and then married her college sweetheart, Jason Long in 2001. Her light always directed people to her Lord & Savior. Emily’s biggest source of joy was her family. She shaped the spiritual foundation of her entire family. She found joy in all aspects of each day through serving, ministering and praying for others through the women’s ministry at Grace Covenant Church. Who she is, is forever defined by her ability to see and enjoy the work of the Lord through God’s creations that most would miss.
Survivors include her husband Jason Long; her beloved children, Olivia and Harrison; mother, Jan Luntsford of Huntersville, NC and siblings, Elizabeth Luntsford Nisbet of Winston Salem, NC and John Luntsford of Cornelius, NC.
