Daphne Gayle Berry

Daphne was married to the love of her life, Wayne Berry, for 65 years. She was the proud mother of three girls and spent her life making them happy. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Social gatherings were her favorite and she knew how to throw a great party! The Christmas holidays were her favorite and she was well known for her beautiful decorations and her gift giving.

She worked for many years as an Administrative Assistant in the Curriculum and Instruction Department in GPISD where she made numerous friends and connections.

She enjoyed watching her daughter and granddaughters play softball and “adopted” many of the other softball girls as her own. She definitely will have the best seat in the house now. She was lovingly known as Mama Berry. She had a great way of telling it like it is and never sugar coated anything. She never kept you wondering what she was thinking. She loved fiercely and if you were one of her people, then you knew she loved you.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Berry, her parents, Macklyn and Bonnie Clack, her brother, Johnny, and sister, Ruthell. She is survived by daughters Sheree Carter and Teree Berry of Grand Prairie, TX and Misty (Jim) Simpson, of Midlothian, TX; grandchildren Kendra and Jason Williams of Oklahoma City, OK, Dustin Carter of Grand Prairie, TX, Kelci and Micah Clanton of Grand Prairie, TX, Natali and Bradley Lawrence of Mesa, AZ, Jorja Simpson of Fredericksburg, TX, and Cason Simpson of Midlothian, TX; great grandchildren Abigayle, Rylee, Hallie, Jay, and Landon; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She will be greatly missed and remembered always as our loving Mom, Mema, and friend.
