Emma Jean Meadows

In the early morning of February 16, 2022, Emma Jean Meadows, 77, of Leicester, passed away at Mission Hospital.

She was a native of Buncombe Co., born on November 17, 1944, to the late Curtis “Chunk” Worley and Dessie Parham Worley. She is also preceded in death by her late husband, Jesse Jerry Meadows.

Emma owned a trucking logistics business which assisted with mileage and fuel reports and she was well known in the trucking community. She loved going to the flea market to sell, she loved gardening, she loved her family and wouldn’t hesitate to help anyone in need, she loved to cook and she drank her daily coffee strong and black. She was a strong-willed and independent woman. She was loved by everyone who knew her. She was an amazing all-around woman.

Emma is survived by her only son, Bill Meadows (Lora); her only grandson, Jesse Meadows (Charity, Phoenix and Josiah); her two sisters, Jeri Meadows (Don) and Carrie Beckett; nephew, Tony Black (Ashley); and niece, Daphne Jones (Tiffany and Taylor).

The graveside service will be held on Monday, February 21, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. at Mountain View Baptist Church Cemetery, Mountain View Rd. (off of Alexander Rd.), Leicester.

She will be missed dearly; we lost a good one with the loss of Emma.
