Wilma Embrey Obituary

Wilma E. "Pat" Embrey, 84, of Iuka, MS, a favored daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend to all who knew her, passed away on October 9, 2025, at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth, MS. Born on March 17, 1941, in Itawamba County, she was affectionately nicknamed "Pat" by her grandfather due to her St. Patrick's Day birthday.

Her commitment to her faith was evident, having accepted Christ into her heart at the age of 14. She lived a lifetime dedicated to serving her Savior as a longtime member of New Salem Baptist Church, where she was also a former Sunday School teacher. She was retired from Wal Mart in Corinth.

Pat leaves behind her siblings: Thelma "Sis" Wynn, Carol Tomlin (Bill), Jim Embrey (Shirley), Linda Embrey, and Joyce Embrey, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Erskine and Evelyn Gipson Embrey; two brothers, Erskine E. "Sonny" Embrey and Roy Embrey; and two nephews, Jimmie "Jimbo" Brown and Michael Brown.
