James Perine

Mrs. Minnie Lee James Perine, age 70, the first born to the loving parentage of the late Mr. Willie Lee James and the late Mrs. Ethel Ree Burrell James on March 18, 1951 in the Choctaw Bluff Community of Jackson, AL, departed this life May 22, 2021 at Jackson Medical Center, Jackson, AL.

Mrs. Perine, a 1969 graduate of Harper High School, was a life-long member of New Canaan Missionary Baptist Church where, before her health failed, she served as the choir director, taught Vacation Bible School (VBS), and was supervisor of the Youth Department. Her hobbies included listening to all genres of music, especially gospel, solving crossword puzzles, coloring books, and cooking. Her famous sweet potato pie, enjoyed by family and friends locally and internationally, was always a true crowd pleaser.
