Emmett Bernard “Red” Anthony 85, passed from this life, May 12, 2015

The son of Ruth and Emmett V. Anthony, he was born November 18, 1929 in Pope, MS. Emmett was of Methodist faith and served our country in the United States Army during the Korean War. After returning from the war, he became a heavy equipment operator working in the pipeline construction business. Hardworking, honest, dependable, kind, generous; these are just a few words that family and friends say describe “Red”. He enjoyed life to the fullest pulling his travel trailer all over the country. It was said that he never met a stranger. He loved the outdoors, walking, fish fry’s, cooking and NASCAR. Most of all, he enjoyed

talking and telling stories to family and friends. He will be greatly missed by everyone that shared his life.
