Betty Sue (Mackie) Lee McPherson

March 4, 2014

Betty Sue (Mackie) Lee McPherson, 77, passed away Sunday, March 2, 2014, at her home in Walnut Hill. She was born on December 23, 1936, at her family’s home in Huxford, which was located about one mile from where she will be buried next to her husband. She graduated from Flomaton High School where she entered the twelfth grade at age 16. Under the age of 17, she held a part-time job at Anderson’s Department Store. She also held positions at the  Telephone Company, Watson Hardware, Chemstrand (where she met her husband, Mack, in 1954), and First National Bank. She retired from First National Bank in 1983. Her life centered around her husband, Charles, and son, Larry, and his family. Her grandchildren were the love of her life, and she thoroughly enjoyed the blessings she received through the lives of these two. She and Mack visited her parents most every Sunday afternoon. She was part of a large family that enjoyed being together. Where you saw Mack, you saw Betty Sue; they were truly soul mates.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 58 years, Charles W. McPherson; and her parents, Noah E. and Daisey Wade Lee.

She is survived by her son, Larry (Mary) McPherson; two grandchildren, Patrick Wayne McPherson and Charleigh Victoria McPherson; her brothers, John J. Everette Lee, Paul E. (Everlene) Lee, and Samuel T. (Shirley) Lee; and her sisters, Mary L. Lee (Jesse) Lassiter, Faye Lee (Winston) Godwin, and Margie N. Lee (Vernon) Parker.
