Nancy L. Vowell-Perry

Nancy L. Vowell-Perry passed away Monday, January 22, 2024, at her residence in Weir, MS. Nancy was born on August 19, 1944, in Louisville, MS, to Hubert and Elizabeth Fulgham. She was 79 years old. 

Nancy’s unwavering dedication to her family served as a remarkable testament of what it means to be a loving wife, nurturing mother, doting grandmother, supportive sister, and loyal friend. She found great pleasure tending to her garden, cultivating crops, and nurturing her beloved chickens and goats. Additionally, she had a deep passion for reading, immersing herself in books whenever she could. However, above all else, her greatest joy came from cherishing moments with her family and her dear friend, Mary Jane Reed. Nancy’s compassionate nature led her to lend a helping hand to those in need, always ready to volunteer for any task. With unwavering dedication, she devoted herself to Broken Wings Ministries for more than 5 years, leaving a lasting impact. Nancy actively participated in the Salem Independent Methodist church community and found great fulfillment in serving the Lord’s purpose. She had a profound impact on the lives of those around her, and her warm and lovable nature endeared her to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her absence will be deeply felt, and she will always be remembered with love.  

Nancy leaves behind her children, Ricky (Wanda) Vowell, Sue Vowell, Pete (Mary) Vowell, and Sunja (Dan) Douglas; along with one sister Bettye (Lee) Beevers. She will be missed by 8 grandkids, and 13 great-grandchildren. We will always cherish the memories of her comforting hugs, contagious laughter, and unwavering love that she showered upon us. 

She was preceded in death by her husband and father of her children, Richard S. Vowell Sr. (1977), and her second husband Hayward Perry (2015); her parents Hubert M. Fulgham and Elizabeth H. Fulgham; 2 brothers, Hubert D. Fulgham (Buddy); and Charlie B. Fulgham. 

Visitation services will be held on Friday, January 26th at Weir Presbyterian Church at 10:30 am with graveside service to follow at 11:00 am. 

Memorials may be made to Broken Wings Ministries in Ackerman, MS.
