Emma Mae Croaker, 75, of Orlando, departed this life on Monday, August 7, 2023. Emma Mae, affectionately known as ‘Suo’ was born on March 29, 1948 to the late Jessie Mae and Willie Henry Coleman in Cordele, GA.

Emma Mae was a woman of great wisdom. She dedicated her life to providing for her family and serving others. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing the Florida Lotto, bingo, and listening to gospel music. She loved her family and showed love to everyone. Emma Mae was and will continue to be an inspiration to us all for living life in an exemplary way.

To the family you have my prayers during this time of bereavement…Emma and I worked together for many years at Florida Manor Nursing Home… she was a good friend and riding buddy…I remember when she stop by house and picked up me and my daughter Rose 🌹 who was a little girl age 5…. she loved kids and she told Rose let’s stop by McDonald’s and get you a snack….May she rest in peace 🙏 Love Pat
Emma and I were neighbors and friends growing up in Orlando, Emma was the oldest and always tried to set a good example and encouraged me to do what was right and stay out of trouble. Her home was my home. I was there everyday. We continued to be friends and kept in touch with each other over the many years that followed. Thinking back over those days on Raleigh Street, life was good and full of fun. I thank God for the memories of having Emma as a friend. May her spirit rest in peace.
