Emma Cleo Coker

of Pine Bluff, AR

March 5, 1957 - February 26, 2015

Emma Cleo Mann Coker, 57, of Pine Bluff, quietly passed from this life on February 26, 2015 at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Center in Little Rock.
She was born to Jesse and Henrietta Mann on March 5, 1957 but was known to say that her life really began when she married her best friend, Thomas Fowler Coker, on May 10, 1980. Their 34 year marriage was blessed with three children: Jesse William Coker, Angela Marie Coker, and Emily Diane Coker and special friend, Angie Lewis, all of Pine Bluff. She delighted in her two grandsons, Jason Anthony Coker and Amaryan Lewis, both of Pine Bluff. A host of others considered her ''mom,'' ''grandma,'' neighbor, and friend.
Emma is survived by her husband; children; sister, Mary Rogers; and three brothers, Steven Mann, William Mann, and Daniel Rogers. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Jessie Rogers and Laverne Rogers; and a brother, Henry Rogers, all of Pine Bluff.
Educated in the White Hall School District, Emma also earned a Certified Nursing Assistant Degree at Delta Career College as an honor graduate. She loved the outdoors and was a talented gardener.
Living out her faith in her service to others, Emma had a heart for children, especially those encountering challenges. She spent countless hours knitting caps to warm the heads and hearts of young patients at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
Emma had a special compassion for animals, rescuing many from harm and providing them a loving home. She will be missed by Bubba, Pumpkin, Chico and Sam.
Emma chose cremation. A celebration of her life will be hosted at a later date by the Coker family.
It was Emma's desire that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Jefferson County Humane Society, P.O. Box 2233, Pine Bluff, AR 71613-2233, (870)247-2677 or Arkansas Children's Hospital Foundation, PO Box 2222, Little Rock, AR 72203-9984, (501)364.1476.
Arrangements are in the care of Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock, AR 72211, (501)224-8300.
