Obituary for Claudine Embry (Trapp)
A Memorial Service for Claudine Embry will be Thursday, June 16, 2016, at 3pm at the Muleshoe Church of Christ in Muleshoe, Texas. Claudine Trapp Embry passed away on June 12, 2016. She was born in Brawley, California on November 18, 1929, to Arthur and Alma Lorene Helton Trapp. She was the Salutatorian for the class of 1946 of Muleshoe High School. She attended Draughn’s Business School in Lubbock Texas. Over the years she worked for Hart’s, Damron Drug, Clay’s Corner Gin, and Nickel’s Pleasant Valley Gin as bookkeeper. She considered being a wife and mother as her most rewarding career.
Claudine married Joseph Edward Embry on February 1, 1948, in Muleshoe, Texas. They had two children, Johnny Euell Embry and Rhonda Kay Embry Hodges. They lived in the YL community until 1961 and then moved to the Pleasant Valley community. They moved to Lubbock to be near their daughter in 2005. Claudine was a member of the Muleshoe Church of Christ for over 50 years and attended Broadway Church of Christ while living in Lubbock. She was a former member of the Pleasant Valley Social Club and volunteered in the beauty shop at the Muleshoe Nursing Home for several years.
Claudine was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 59 years, Joseph Embry (April 5, 2007), her son, Johnny Euell Embry (June 14, 2003). She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Newel Trapp, Robert Trapp, Doyle Trapp, Randal Wilson, and Vyron Wilson, and one sister, Martina Wilson Tinney. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Rhonda Embry Hodges and Mack Hodges, her daughter-in-law and husband, Tanya Embry Wardrup and Jim Wardrup. She is also survived by grandchildren Brian and Stacey Embry Miller, John Embry, Donald and Lori Hodges Fritz, Chris and Suzy Hodges Key, Cody and Jill Hodges Mull, and great-grandchildren Zachary, Cameron, and Cora Miller, Joseph and Lucy Fritz, Harper and Isla Key, and Audrey and Caleb Mull.
For the past five years, she has lived at Wilshire in Lubbock, and the family would like to thank the staff and many caregivers and friends she had there. We also would like to thank Accolade Home Healthcare and Accolade Hospice, especially Shanda Fields for her loving care of Claudine for the past six years.
She had a great love for the Lord, her husband, her children, grandchildren and especially her great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the American Cancer Society, Muleshoe Memorial Park Cemetery, Inc or a charity of your choice
