Emily Elmore Perry
1897-1980
*********************

"Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  Love never faileth...And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."  I Corinthians 13: 7-13
Picture
Emily (called "Cushoo") was born on April 24, 1897 in Patterson, Louisiana.  The oldest of the ten children born to Handy and Nellie Elmore.  Emily often talked of how she helped her mama take care of her younger brothers and  sisters.  Slightly tall and quiet like her papa, Emily loved and respected her papa very much.  She talked proudly of how he came home everyday from working in the fields, and still found the time to teach them how to read, write, and do numbers.  Emily was an attentive student and a teacher at heart.  She helped other children in the neighborhood with their learning.

Not only did her papa teach his children to read, write, and do numbers, he also taught them to love and fear God.  It was from him that Emily developed a strong belief in God.  She was baptized by Reverend L.B. Bennett and became a member of Good Hope Baptist Church in Patterson, Louisiana where she served as a Deaconess until her passing in May 1980. 

In 1917, Emily met and married John Perry.  Eleven children came out of that union.  Three of the children died as infants (Robert, Mabel, and Delores).  The other eight children are:  Nellie, named after Emily's mother (husband is George Williams),  Majorie "Maude" Williams (deceased), John Perry, Jr.  (deceased), Emily Lou Augman "Baby Lou" (husband William), Mckinley Perry (wife: Hattie B.), Clifton Perry (deceased, wife is Georgia), Doris Lorraine Gant (husband is Charlie), and Joan Faye Schexnayder (husband is Randolph, Jr.).  Emily was blessed with 41 grandchildren, 97 great grandchildren, and 87 great great-grandchildren. And, more since this writing.

Emily dedicated her life to the care of her children and grandchildren.  They were the pride and joy of her life.  She would be very proud of the many commendable accomplishments of her offsprings.

Memories

Picture
As I muse about Aunt Cushoo, I recall as a young girl, when on vacation at grammo's, I would go over to visit and of course play jacks with Joan Faye, Phylis Ann and Norma Lee.  I remember okra and chicken with rice, and homemade ice cream - yum . I also remember Uncle John calling all the kids knotty heads . . .  And sitting in his chair leaning again the wall on the front porch.  I remember Aunt Cushoo's quiet and gentle spirit.  I remember once I got married how I took my husband, Don with me to visit them whenever I was in town.  Both Aunt Cushoo and Uncle John were faithful members of Good Hope Baptist Church.  Submitted  by Sheena  Coleman
