Perry

Burden

Mr. Perry Burden was born on August 14, 1936, to the late Clarence and Nina Burden in Paytonville, Georgia. He received his formal education at Pike County Consolidated School in Concord, Georgia.

Perry accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age. Perry loved the Lord and he knew that the Lord loved him. He would pray for his family daily. Perry met and married Bernice Wellmaker, and their union together was blessed with 10 children and he loved them all.

After high school, Perry moved from Georgia to Miami, FL, where he made Florida his home. After the passing of his beloved wife, Bernice Burden, Perry decided to move to back to Concord, so that he could be closer to his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, his siblings, other family and friends.

In his leisure time he enjoyed spending time with his children, his brothers, talking on the phone to his friends that he left in Miami. He loved driving around in his truck, traveling, and most of all he loved taking care of his family.

On Sunday, October 8, 2023, Mr. Perry Burden's name was called, and he answered and was free from all sickness and pain. Rest now in peace and comfort, your journey has ended, battle fought, and victory won. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence Burden and Nina Mae Burden; his wife, Bernice Wellmaker Burden; daughter, Carol Heard; siblings, Eddie Joe Burden, WC Burden, Lewis Burden, Horace Burden, Bessie Daniel, Rebecca Ann Burden Adams, and Betty Jean Burden Gilbert.

Mr. Perry Burden leaves a lasting legacy, full of loving memories his children Willie Frank Barber, Vincent C. (Wanda) Burden, Perry Andre (Sandra) Burden, Douglas (Lola) Burden, Pamela Alesa Burden, Teresa Jackson, Tina Marie (Alton) Lewis, Darryl Lamar Burden, Marvin Mangham, Edward (Jennie) Mangham, and Randy Mangham; siblings, Mary Lee Favors, James Otis (Burnette) Burden, Frank Burden, and Charles (Betty) Burden; aunt, Jenny Coggins Graham;  40 grandchildren, 61 great grandchildren.
