Herrin- Frances (Tauro) Emery, age 89, of Herrin, passed away at 3:23pm on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at her home in Herrin.

They were married in the Philippine Islands, at Manila, where Harold was stationed while serving in the United States Army. He preceded her in death on April 15, 2002.

She enjoyed growing flowers, especially roses, of which she knew the names of every variety. She had a small vegetable garden and enjoyed sharing the bounty of her garden with family, friends, and neighbors.
Those left to mourn her passing include two sons; Ben (Dianna) Emery of Herrin and Richard Emery of Herrin; three daughters; Lynda (Jeff) Rowan of Makanda, Brenda (Darrel) Murray of Herrin, and Lisa Emery and special friend Debbie Gosnell of Herrin; five grandsons; two granddaughters; one great grandson; five great granddaughters.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Harold.
The family would like to thank Dr. Pramote, the nursing staff at Herrin Hospital, the staff at Davita in Marion and a special thank you to the staff of Parkway Manor in Marion.
Funeral services will be held at 11am on Saturday, January 3, 2015 at Johnson-Hughes Funeral Home in Herrin with her grandson, Mr. Ryan Murray, officiating. Burial will follow at Herrin City Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 5-8pm on Friday, January 2, 2015 at Johnson-Hughes Funeral Home.
