Obituary For Elizabeth Sherman Clark Embser

Elizabeth Sherman Clark Embser, 84, died peacefully in her home October 5, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia. At Liz’s request there will be no service. Those wishing to make a donation in her honor are asked to consider a contribution to Agape Hospice of Atlanta: http://agapehospicecare.net/donate or a hospice organization of their choice. Elizabeth “Liz,” was born at Emory Hospital in 1936. As a child, she lived on Peachtree Circle and attended the Spring Street School and First Presbyterian Church. Her family moved to Branson, Missouri when she was 11 years old. Liz lived in the Branson area for over 50 years; it was there she worked in the Branson Schools, as the Elementary School Secretary and later as the school’s bookkeeper. She also served as Secretary of the Board. Before she started working in the Branson Schools, Liz was an active member in her community; leading Cub Scouts and Brownie Troops, serving as PTA President, and working with others to start the First Presbyterian Church Preschool. In her later years, Liz loved hearing about all the “Branson kids” she knew and “what they were up to now.” Liz returned to Atlanta, Georgia in 2009. She lived in Buckhead and enjoyed her later years closer to family. Liz is preceded in death by her husband, Joe Fielding Embser and her oldest son Richard Graham Embser. She is survived by three sisters, Alice Davis, Margaret Miller (Bill), and Julia Hampton (Trish Loomis); her children, Darwin Embser (Larry Wilcox), Leonora Herschend (Bruce), and Elvira Embser-Herbert (Máel); grandchildren Joshua Stever, Duncan Lang, Madeleine Arrigueno (Lucio), and Walker Embser-Herbert; great grandchildren, Sophia, Wren and Alex.
