Willie Barry was born to James Barry and Mary Lark Barry on 11 June 1941 in Money, MS. He died in his home in Greenwood, MS, 13 January 2021, at the age of 79. After completing high school in Money, MS, Willie enlisted in the United States Army. Willie and the late Mamie Sandifer had two children, Willie Sandifer (Memphis, TN) and Brenda Barry (Memphis, TN). Willie was married to Mary Elizabeth Jefferson (Gluckstadt, MS) from 1968 – 1982. Willie and Mary had three daughters: Zyndall Anderson (Cedar Hills, TX), Carisa Pope (Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE), and Tamika Yates (Canton, MI). Willie is survived by his devoted friend and former wife, Mary; his children Willie, Brenda, Zyndall, Carisa (Roy), and Tamika (Billy); one sister, Leaota (Nehemiah); six brothers, James, Ernest (Mary), Otis, Harrison (Betty), Robert (Betty), and Johnny Ray; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; and a host of in-laws, nieces, and nephews. Willie is predeceased by his parents, James and Mary; one brother, Hosea; and two sisters, Freda and Dora. Willie will forever be loved, cherished, and remembered as Daddy, Granddaddy, PawPaw, Uncle Willie, Bruh, and Big Man; the avid fisherman who loved to “cut up”, tell stories, laugh, and make everyone around him laugh. Special appreciation is extended to Willie’s Greenwood family, especially Nehemiah, Leaota, Kenric, and Sherron; his caring friends, Reakeisha Buchanan and Marquavius Buchanan; and his caretakers and medical team. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit. Psalm 147: 3, 5 NIV
