Emma Dell Mathews went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on April 15, 2008, in Plano, TX.  She was born to Thomas and Goldie Hoover Ewing on February 8, 1926, in Greenville, TX.  As a woman full of integrity, compassion and grace, she raised three daughters and was a respected businesswoman above reproach. As one of the owners and operators of Coker-Mathews Funeral Home until 1988, she touched many families during their time of sorrow.  Many people have commented through the years about how lovingly she helped them through the loss of their loved one. She was also a faithful charter member of Ridgecrest Baptist Church.

 She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Nona Grace Creel, Tommie Jo Shields, Hazel Simpson, beloved in-laws Paul and Carrie Beth Mathews and an infant grandson, Collin Crelia.
 
 
Funeral services will be at 2:00pm Friday in the chapel of Coker-Mathews Funeral Home with Rev. Kevin Herbert officiating.  Burial will be in Memoryland Memorial Park.  Visitation will be from 5pm-7pm on Thursday evening at the funeral home. 
 
Pallbearers will be her grandsons, sons-in-law and Larry Fields, Jr.  Honorary pallbearers are the staff members of Coker-Mathews Funeral Home.
