Amy Embry

Amy Nartarsha Embry, a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2024, at the age of 53. Born on August 22, 1970, in Talladega, Alabama to parents James Carmichael and Shirley Embry, Amy brought joy and laughter into the lives of those around her. Amy's vibrant spirit and unwavering faith were evident from an early age. She embraced her Christian beliefs and dedicated herself to the service of the Lord. Amy found comfort and inspiration in worship at St. Mark Holiness Church and later in life she began attending St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church. Education was of utmost importance to Amy, and she successfully completed her studies at Lincoln High School graduating with the Class of 1989. With determination and a strong work ethic, she found employment at MS Companies and Atalian Global Services, where she made lasting friendships and showcased her diligence and dedication. Known for her infectious energy and love for dancing, Amy lit up any room she entered. She possessed a natural talent for entertaining others, and her vibrant personality made her the life of every gathering. Amy wholeheartedly embraced the joy of holidays and made it a point to bless her loved ones with thoughtful gifts and tokens of her affection. Her generosity knew no bounds. Amy cherished the bond she shared with her sister, Darcille Embry, and their unbreakable connection was evident to all who knew them. Together, they created countless memories filled with laughter, love, and support. Amy's devotion to her family extended to her role as a dedicated and loving grandmother to her cherished grandchildren: Kameron, Caesen, Kardia, and Kayla. They were a constant source of pride and joy in her life; but we can't leave out BonBon----she most definitely loved her some BonBon. On Monday, February 5, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family at Diversicare Rehab in Pell City and in the care of Compassus Hospice, Amy embarked on her journey to the heavens. She was greeted with open arms by her parents, James Carmichael and Shirley Embry, and her grandparents, Fred and Evelyn Embry, who had preceded her in death. Amy's kindness and affection impacted the lives of many, and she will be dearly missed. Amy leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and a zest for life. Her memory will forever be treasured by those who knew and loved her including her son, Cordaryl Embry; sisters, Darcille (Yusuf) Embry, Shae Carmichael, and Latonya (Anthony George); four grandchildren, Kameron Embry, Caesen Embry, Kardia Embry, and Kayla Embry; Godsister, Jubeshia Elston; special aunts and uncles, Clarence (Betty) Embry, Mertha Pearson, and Darryl (Vanessa) Elston; special nieces, Miketa Embry and Y'Vonni Jackson; special friends, Dorothy Johnson, Alfreda Robertson, and Correuna Pearson; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and friends. May the memories of Amy's laughter, love, and light bring comfort to all who mourn her loss. As we gather to celebrate her life, let us find consolation in the knowledge that her spirit will forever reside in our hearts. Rest in peace, our dear Amy.
