Emily Louise Harris Pusey, 79, of Snow Hill, and also of Chincoteague, died Saturday, January 18, 2014 at her home in Chincoteague. She was born October 31, 1934 in Salisbury, a daughter of the late Ralph and Miriam Cherrix Harris. Emily was proud of her Worcester County heritage and spent most of her youth in Public Landing. She retired in 1998 after over 30 years of service as a secretary at Snow Hill High School. After retirement she was never comfortable doing nothing, so she worked various part time jobs at Souvenir City and Tom's Cove in Chincoteague and also worked as a greeter at the Walmart in Pocomoke, a job she truly enjoyed. She was a life member of Spence Baptist Church in Snow Hill, where in her younger days she taught Sunday school. She was also very active in the JOY group at church and enjoyed eating out with her friends. Some of her best memories were her trips to the beach with family, especially the trips with her grandchildren. She is survived by 2 sons, Kenneth J. Pusey, Jr (Barbara) of Snow Hill and Norris R. Pusey (Zandra) of Girdletree; a daughter, Emily Dawn Hillman (Greg) of Snow Hill; 7 grandchildren, Hunter Pusey (Megan), Kyle Pusey (Ashley) Logan Pusey (fiancé Catie Bowman), Eric Pusey, Erica Cook, Jonathan Hillman (Michelle) and Colby Hillman (Tracy); and 6 great grandchildren, Colton, Jacob, Milan, Erianna, Sawyer and Wesley. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth J. Pusey, Sr., who passed in 1979. A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 12:00 noon at Spence Baptist Church in Snow Hill, where family and friends may call from 11:00 to 12:00. The Reverend Kenneth Elligson will officiate. Interment will follow the services at Snow Hill Christian Church Cemetery.
