Willie Mae Perry's earthly season began on October 22, 1921, when she was born to Alberta Caston and reared by Rev. D.J. Campbell, Sr.  She received her formal education in the Amite County School System in Liberty, Mississippi.  

In May, 1939, she married Louise Wilson, Sr., and the union was blessed with six amazing children. This season started the sowing of foundation and framework of success in which her family members developed and flourished. Willie Mae confessed hope in Christ early in life. As a member of Fluker Chapel Church, she was honored for faithful service rendered as the President of the Usher Board. She also served as missionary.

Willie Mae continued to sow good deeds as a member of the Eastern Star; this distinguished gentlewoman gave inspiration to many through her high ideals, morals, and deep concern for her fellow citizens. On August 25, 1968, she married Jimmie Perry, Sr., and resided in Amite, LA. Later she joined Grant's Chapel A.M.E. Church.

The angels of heaven received Willie Mae on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at Hood Memorial Hospital. She had won the battle and the season of transition to her heavenly home began. As you say goodbye to Willie Mae, remember her as a Centenarian with magnanimous faith, an unimpeachable reputation for integrity, intelligence, fairness and kindness. She graced the world with her inner and outer beauty that resonated in everything she did. 

Wille Mae leaves to cherish her memories, her six children: Nora, Louis, Jr., (Edna), Delores, Bobbie Jean, Joe (Annie Bell), and Dallas; grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and a host of extended family, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
