Wilma Emery
Wilma Dean Emery, 85, passed away on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
She grew up in Sale Creek and has been a member of Delashmitt Road Baptist Church for most of her life. Wilma retired from Chattanooga Bakery after over 30 years of service. She was a member of the Betsy Ross Eastern Star organization. Wilma’s love was for her family and enjoyed traveling. She was a fiery woman, who let you know what she was thinking even if you didn’t want to hear. Some would call her sassy, but was also a sweet and loving soul.
She was preceded in death by her husband of over 40 years, Marion Murphy Emery, parents, Ray and Inez Adams, brothers, Billy and Sonny Adams, sisters, Betty Jo Hall and Anna York.
Wilma is survived by her children, Phyllis (David) Hensley, Sharon (Curtis) Broadway and Brian (Dana) Emery, grandchildren, Travis, Adam and Josh Hensley, Ashley Masterson, Katelyn Broadway, Corey and Murphy Emery and seven great-grandchildren.
