While principally a homemaker, she earlier served as a claims supervisor at Provident Insurance (UNUM) and as a bookkeeper for the Ben L. Mason Construction Company.
She was an active member of First Presbyterian Church where she worked with Mission to the World in Romania, France, and Mexico on short term construction teams. She also worked at TEEN missions in Merritt Island, Florida, caring for teenagers seeking short-term mission building opportunities. For many years she was a long time volunteer at Changed Lives. Her life was dedicated to serving God, her family and others. She was an encourager, adviser and comforter to many as she exemplified the hands and feet of Christ on earth.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Presley Perry Sr. and Ida Alafair Perry; brothers, Robert Perry Jr. and Charles Perry and sister Virginia Turner.
Survivors are her son, Ben L. (Sue) Mason Jr.; grandsons, David (Megan) Mason, Jonathan (Chelsey) Mason and Cody Mason.
