"Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” – Proverbs 31:28
It is with both sadness and peace that we share the passing of our beloved mother, Thelma Perry, who went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 8th.
While our hearts ache with her loss, we take comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with our father, her lifelong companion and the love of her life, after more than 69 wonderful years together.
Mom was the kindest and most loving soul, a woman whose faith and compassion touched everyone she met. She embodied the virtues described in *Proverbs 31*—a wife of noble character, clothed with strength and dignity, whose wisdom and gentle guidance blessed all who knew her. Her life was a living testament to faith, grace, and love in action.
Through her example, she taught us the true meaning of empathy, kindness, and devotion. Her steadfast faith shaped our own, and her love continues to guide us even as we walk this new path without her earthly presence.
Mom leaves behind four children and their spouses, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all of whom will spend the remainder of our lives honoring her memory and striving to live by the values she so gracefully instilled in us.
Mom’s memory will forever remain in our hearts—her laughter, her warmth, her strength, and her unwavering love for her family and for God. Though we grieve, we find peace in knowing that she is now in her eternal home, embraced by the love of our Heavenly Father and reunited with Dad once more.
“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” – Proverbs 31:29–30
