PERRY BERTHA
It is much sadness that I will try to write an obituary of a dear Mother. Bertha Perry was born February 1, 1896 to the late Tommy and Susanna Cornett Adams, departed this life February 1, 1982 making her stay on earth 86 years at the time of her passing. Bertha was married to the late Charlie Ross Perry who has preceded her in death. She also has three children who preceded her in death; Effie, Dan and Ed Perry. Surviving Sister Bertha are four sons - Watson Perry of Hazard, KY; James Perry of Lovley, KY; Roy Perry of Middletown, Ohio; and Frank Perry of Whitesburg, KY. Three daughters - Levada Snoke, Viola Lucas, and Helen Booth of Lancaster, Ohio; three sisters - Elizzie Nichols of Sidney, Ohio; Zola Gibson and Lola Brown of Tiffin, Ohio. Also surviving are 30 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, 1 great great grandchild and 6 step-grandchildren; along with a host of relatives and friends to mourn her passing.
Sister Bertha was a member of the Old Regular Baptist Church for 40 years. The children have lost a precious mother and the Church a faithful member but we feel their loss is Heaven's gain. So to her love ones, if you haven't repented of your sins and been born again in this life, when that precious light shines around your heart don't turn it away so you can make Mother's God your God and be ready when Jesus calls so you can go to a Beautiful Home to die no more. If Mother could speak to her love ones, she would say, "Weep not for me, but weep for your selves". Written by: A Sister in Hope, Monzell Cornett
