Wynelle (Chapman) Perry, 85, passed away peacefully and entered into the arms of her Lord and Savior on October 9, 2021, in Cedar Hill Texas. Wynelle was born in Bailey, Texas on September 7, 1936, to her parents, D.R. and Cleva Geneva Chapman. Wynelle graduated from Hale Center High School where she excelled in her love of basketball, playing Forward for the Hale Center High School Owls and still to this day, holds the record for highest points (over 50) scored in a single game. Wynelle enjoyed many hobbies, including reading, gardening, baking, sewing, floral arranging, bowling and a host of other arts and crafts. She loved decorating for Christmas and the resulting smile on her children’s and grand-children’s faces. Wynelle was a wonderful cook, but was especially known for her delicious desserts that she made for family and hundreds of church gatherings. Wynelle loved her family with all she had and made them her priority. Above all Wynelle will be remembered for her faith as a strong Christian woman. She had a beautiful voice and was a long time member of her church choirs. She was a devoted church member, working as the secretary, accountant, treasurer and on various committees for several churches throughout her life. The dedication she had for the Lord was an inspiration to her family and all those around her. The Lord surpassed none other. Wynelle was met in Heaven by her loving husband, Charles Harvey Perry; father, D.R.
