A two-line tribute on Tributes.com reports her date of death as 8 August 2009. The date of death reported by the Criswell-Roberts genealogy above, thus, was the date of the obituary, not the datee of death. But note, they got the birth date wrong.
"Emmie was born on November 13, 1915 and passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2009. Emmie was a resident of Water Valley, Mississippi."
