Perine

Mrs. Mattie Lee Jackson Perine, age 82, a native and resident of the Rockville Community of Jackson, AL was born October 17, 1936 to the parentage of the late Mr. Elijah Jackson and the late Mrs. Ruth Ann Nettles Jackson. She departed this life August 19, 2019 at Mobile Nursing and Rehab Center, Mobile, AL.

Mrs. Perine was a faithful member of Mt. Olive #1 Baptist Church in Rockville. Before her health prevented her from doing so, she served dutifully in the missionary society, in the choir, and on the usher board. Her favorite hobby was preparing delicious meals for her family to enjoy. Among her most sought after dishes were dressing, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato pie.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Henry Perine, Sr., two grandchildren, Roderick Perine and Jennifer Dunn Barnett; and her sister, Annette Graham.

Her loving and caring life will linger in the hearts of her devoted family; five sons, Henry (Debra) Perine, Jr.; Charles (Cynthia) Perine; Larry (Debora) Perine, all of Jackson, AL; Andrew (Sabrina) Perine of Cincinnati, OH; Ronald (Barbara) Perine of McIntosh, AL, and a grandson raised as a son, Rick (Klashone) Perine of Jackson, AL; two daughters, Linda (Tollie) Allen of Jackson, AL, and Jackie (Rev. Walter Bruce) Johnson of McIntosh, AL.

Many wonderful memories will be cherished by 30 grandchildren, 57 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
