She was a retired educator where she mastered many career fields but her love for children led her to transition from being a Nanny to becoming a Special Education Parapro for the Wichita Public School District in Wichita, KS. After retiring from the school district in 2002, she took her love of children to Tocoma, WA where she opened an at home Daycare Center. She soon found joy in caring for foster children. After caring for numerous children in the eight years as a foster parent, she decided to fully retire in 2011. Some of those children kept in close contact with her throughout the years. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a daughter, Beverly Bryant; two brothers, John Trotter, Sr. and Albert Trotter, Sr.; and four sisters, Azzie Munson, Wanda Carruthers, Bettye Simpson and Mary Simpson.
She is survived by three sons, Charles Carr, Jr. of Monticello, Anthony (Kia) Carr of Charlotte, NC and Brian Carr of Wichita, KS; three sisters, Vertie Pettiford of Garland, TX, Ola Simmons (Lorenza) of Monticello, and Florine Moore of Monticello; four brothers, Karon Trotter, Jr. (Yvette) of Monticello, Rev. Dejuan Trotter (Lisa) of White Hall, Gerald Canada (Hilda) of Bryant and Kerwin Coleman (Cynthia) of Monticello; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday, at Trinity Full Gospel Church with burial in Oakland Cemetery. There will be a wake from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Friday evening at Stephenson-Dearman Funeral Home. You can sign Mrs. Emma's guestbook page at www.stephensondearman.com.

Wichita, KS Wednesday, August 31, 2022 My heart is sadden, yet rejoicing all at the same time for I know Aunt Emma is rejoicing in heaven and Thanking God for her reward! Her beautiful smile is lighting up the heavens. Death leaves a heartache that nothing can heal; love leaves a memory that no one can steal. I know a man named Jesus we can call on to heal our heartache and remind us he is near and give us a memory to fill up our sadness! Hold on Family and call on Jesus for he hears and will always answer! Shiloh Family forever!Love ya'll more than ya'll will ever know!!! Tracy, Mrs.Eva, Tony, Jeff, and Hony.

Mablevale, AR Sunday, August 28, 2022 I’m sending my condolences to my cousins, Emma’s sons and to her siblings, other family members, church family and everyone who knew and loved her! God only wants the best in His bouquet and He certainly picked a beautiful woman to add to His arrangement the other day. Emma knew me before I knew myself and she used to tell me stories about things I did as a toddler, when she lived with us. She was a woman who was always willing to listen to you and pray for you, anytime you needed her too. Her voice will certainly be missed. We the Carr family have certainly lost a beautiful spirit filled woman from our midst, but I truly believe that Heaven has gained an Angel, who has lived her entire life, preparing for such a time as this!Sending ❤️ to the Carr & Trotter family
