She was the mother of five, grandmother of seventeen, and great grandmother of eleven, She was a sister to five and friend to many. Mrs. Berry was devoted to her Lord and family and served both with selfless love. Her Christian example as an encourager inspired all those who knew her. At First Baptist Church , Oak Grove, she served as a nursery worker and a youth training union teacher, and was a faithful member of the Ruth Sunday School Class.
As a homemaker, she enjoyed sewing and cooking for her family. Music was a very important part of her life! Singing, playing a harmonica or HER guitar, smiling and tapping her foot as she "made music" brought joy to many. Mrs. Berry 's love of music and the guitar has been passed down and will be remembered for generations.
The joy of the Lord proved to be her strength. Strength and honor have been her clothing. Her children arise up and call her blessed and will honor her memory as we celebrate her life.
