She was born on May 30, 1931 to John and Floy Deshazo, in Camp Springs, TX. in her grandmother Worley's home which still stands today just west of the community. She lived their just east of town in Fisher county until 1937 when the family moved to Snyder. She graduated from Snyder High School in 1948. During that time, she met her future husband, Eldon Perry. They wed on January 5th, 1951.
They live for a short time on the family farm west of Snyder, then moved to San Clemente, CA when Eldon was in the Marine Corps. After his discharge, they returned to Scurry County and began their life on the family farm for the next 30 years. They lived in the Lone Wolf Community for several years on the farm there. She recalled how excited they would get when they would hear a car coming down the highway (which was rarely traveled), and would run to the window to see who it might be. In 1958 they moved to the farm east of Snyder, along highway 180, where they would continue to live until Eldon's passing in 1985. While most of her time was devoted to raising a family and homemaking, she did work outside the home first at RS&P railroad office, and later for several years at the ASCS office and Blanche's Bernina.

She was a member of First Baptist Church, and particularly loved her Sunday school class mates, who formed a special bond in her later years. Thank you to those who routinely stopped by to visit and update her on church sermons and prayer requests over the last few years when she was unable to attend. No doubt she was a prayer warrior.

Anna Mae had a photographic memory when it came to placing people in Scurry county, who they were married to, where they had lived etc. It was always amusing to see how conversations at coffee with guests would inevitably turn to discussions around the genealogy of various people, and few ever questioned her vast knowledge!

In her later years she became quite and avid sports fan, particularly basketball and baseball. She faithfully watched Texas Rangers games and was quick to give updates and final results.

She will always be remembered for her talent as a seamstress, and many awesome recipes which friends and family still enjoy. Most of all, she will be remembered as someone who was fiercely loyal to her family, and someone with deep faith who loved the Lord.

She was preceded in death by her husband Eldon, her parents John and Floy Deshazo, and her brother, Dale Deshazo.

Anna Mae is survived by her children Sid Perry (Paula Falls) Twin Falls, ID., and Todd Perry of Lubbock, TX., Her grandchildren Allison Hubbs (Phil) of Twin Falls, ID., Brooks Perry of Dalian, China., Kennedy Perry of Austin, TX., and Kade Perry of Austin, TX., Her great grandchildren Violet Hubbs, Maggie Hubbs, and Daphne Hubbs, all of Twin Falls, ID.

The family wishes to convey special thanks to her caregivers Yolanda, Christina, Suzanne, and Melissa, Virginia and Andi who not only provided her care, but also companionship and friendship over the last few years. She had many family and friends close by who regularly checked up on her and helped in so many ways.

Visitation will be held Monday, January 21, 2019 from 6 PM to 7 PM at Bell-Cypert-Seale Funeral Home.

Memorials can be made to Gideon International; 2900 Lebanon Road; Nashville, TN 37214
