Betty Marie Perry was first a child of God and a wonderful helpmate and wife – the Queen of our universe.  She was born February 5, 1966 in Bonham, Texas, the daughter of Narvell Elisher and Helen Marie Bragg Elisher and Aunt Janice.  One of the funniest and caring people that we knew, she loved to babysit and care for everybody’s kids.  Affectionately known at BeBe or Betty Boo Shay by friends and family, she dearly loved her parents; they were her best friends.  She was a strong and powerful Queen, always willing to help, to listen, and would do anything for her family and friends.  This beautiful black Queen was the perfect example of what motherhood looks like.
