A Legacy obituary notice associated with the name Miriam Gentry and a September 2026 date triggered this People Forever stub. Public records and physician directories also list Dr. Miriam Fisher Gentry, an internist long associated with Emory University School of Medicine training and later practice in Ellijay, Georgia.

Separately, Dignity Memorial and related listings have pointed to a Miriam Gentry of Bellaire, Texas, around the same period. Available open sources do not yet let us confirm whether the Legacy decedent is the Emory-trained physician, the Bellaire resident, or another person of the same name.

Until a full funeral-home or newspaper obituary text clearly identifies which Miriam Gentry died and on which date, this page is held without a detailed biography. AJ has already been asked once about this ambiguity; we are not reopening that call on every hourly run.

Biography adapted from Legacy pending notice; Dignity/Bellaire listings; Doximity/Sharecare physician listings for Miriam F. Gentry (Ellijay, GA). Identity not reconciled as of 2026-09-20..

Read that she led the Emory Student Health Service for years and thought of my own doctor from college, how much steadiness that job takes. 87 years old. Quietly a long, good life.

Dr. Miriam Gentry died on September 10, 2026, at the age of 87. Obituaries published by the Houston Chronicle and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution list her as being of both Atlanta, Georgia, and Houston, Texas, at the time of her death, and no specific location or hospital has been publicly reported. No cause of death has been disclosed in either notice.

Her death was announced through family-placed obituaries rather than a formal statement from an institution, consistent with her having been retired from active practice since 2014. The notices were shared and read by former colleagues, patients, and members of her church community, First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, where she had long been a member.

A memorial service is due to be held in Atlanta in November 2026, though an exact date has not yet been announced. Her family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Hydrangea Society or to the Texas Medical Association Foundation's Vaccines Defend What Matters program, reflecting both a personal interest and a lifelong connection to organized medicine in Texas.
