Emma Jean Koerber

Emma lived a vibrant life filled with energy and determination. Known for her beautifully kept home, always spotless and dust-free, she took pride in her surroundings and especially loved spending time in her backyard, enjoying the swimming pool and the many flowers she tended with care. Emma had a deep love for her family and cherished taking trips to Florida with her grandchildren. Always on the move, she lived life on her own terms, strong-willed, independent, and never one to be told she couldn't do something. She also enjoyed going to the VFW on Friday evenings with family.

She is survived by her beloved grandchildren, Stephen (Amy) Headley, Amber Headley, Emily Smith, and Briawna Headley; great-grandchildren, Alistair Headley, Skye Brown, and Zoey Brown; and siblings, Terry Wayne and Betty Sue Richardt; daughter-in-law, Brenda; and many other extended family members and friends.

Emma was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Kenneth Koerber; children, Carol Headley and Stephen Headley; and siblings, Bud Kasinger, Delores Vogel, Clifford Kasinger, and Rilla Cotton-Boyd.

Family and friends may visit from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 5, 2025, and again from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Alexander West Chapel, 2100 W. Illinois Street, Evansville, IN. A funeral service officiated by Pastor Gamblin will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, with burial to follow at Alexander Memorial Park.
