Mrs. Derry was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Lena Belle Roberts. Throughout her life Mrs. Derry lived a life of unwavering commitment to her husband, family, and God. In life she accomplished the true virtues of a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Although she was one who gladly chose to remain out of the spotlight her actions spoke loudly about her love for all. She was happy serving others along side her husband in ministry. Not only did she serve our community but untold lives were touched by her actions throughout the U.S. A "heart of gold" is what we, who were fortunate to be around her, saw being displayed time and time again. Although we mourn her departure from this earth, we know that heaven celebrated her arrival. We look forward to reuniting again.......'til then.
