Rose Marie Perry

Rose was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her family was her passion and every member of her family felt her love. She never met a stranger and could and would become friends with everyone she met. Eventually, those friends would become family as well. Rose always wanted everyone to feel loved and cared for. Affectionately called “Mama Rose” or “Grandma Rose”, she raised the neighborhood kids like they were her own. Her love for children was evident. She volunteered for the school system. She loved any and all music, especially Gospel music. She was a certified Peer Visitor at the local Amputation Rehabilitation Center. She wanted everyone to feel like they had someone to talk to and someone who cared about them. She had a talent for crocheting and just about everyone has a hat, scarf, or toaster cozy that she made them. She was also a member of The Order of The Eastern Star. Her infectious smile could light up a room, and now that smile makes Heaven a little brighter.

Rose is preceded in death by her parents, Percy and Alva Dedeaux and her sisters, Frances Gladden and Cynthia Dedeaux.

She leaves behind to cherish a lifetime of memories, her husband, Henry Perry; her children, Tonya McNeill (Jeff Wiggins), Dawn Lloyd (Alex), Shayne McDaniel, Michael Perry (Sharon), Jonathan Perry, Christopher Perry, and Brian Perry; her grandchildren, Shikara Fraser (Travis), Akai Wiggins-Tolbert, Little Jeff Wiggins Jr (Ivy), Sabrina McNeill, Sebastian Lee, Skye Lee, Lauren and Rosalie, Haven Perry, Madelyn Perry, Xander Perry, Elizabeth Perry, Kalib Perry, Megan Perry, and Caitie Lamb; her great grand children, Titus Escourse, Anthony Tolbert Jr., Avery Wiggins, Thaddeus Escourse, Azaria Tolbert, Little Jeff Wiggins III, Cali Wiggins; her siblings, Jeri Impemba, Jeanette Nathan, James Jackson, Linda Gladden, Percy Dedeaux Jr., Yvonne Jones, Bryan Dedeaux, Tammi Dedeaux, a special cousin Sylvester Alexander, her grand cat, Sheldon; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
