Maggie Ruth Perry was born July 17, 1935, in Brinson, GA, the daughter of Archie & Minnie Lee Brown Perry. She was a graduate of Brinson High School. Maggie was a member of Climax Baptist Church.

Maggie was never afraid to work. She spent years on the floor at ITT. Her co-workers became like family, and she treated them like her own. In later years, her recliner was her favorite spot for sharing memories and catching up on the grandchildren. Maggie loved going out to eat with her children and grandchildren. After these outings, her heart was full.

Survivors include her son, Joseph McLendon (Gail); her grandchildren, Shane McLendon (Nancy), Jennifer Cook, Matt Cook (Alicia), Jodie McLendon, and Sarah Giles (Chris Glisson); her great-grandchildren, Conner McLendon, Harmony Davis, Chloe Cook, Haley Strickland, Trevor Strickland, and Brianna Barfield; and her sister, Lula McLendon. In addition to her parents, Maggie was preceded in death by her daughter, Ruthie McLendon Giles, and her siblings, Elbert Perry, Ruben Perry, Hubert Perry, and Violet Cleveland.
