Willie Lee Weary, Sr , was born on January 11, 1940 in Pearson, GA to the late Eula Harris and Augustus Dewitt Weary.

At the age of 7 he moved to Jasper, FL and grew up at Kennedy Stills, where he loved to fish and farm.

As a young man, he met and married Mildred Hardy. This union was blessed with, Willa Dean, Michael & Faron Weary.

He later met and married Dorothy Mae Smith and was blessed with Reginald Brown, Darryl Weary, Marcus Weary, Willie Weary Jr and Tracey Weary.

Willie was employed at Goldkist for over 25 years and was a model employee.  He was later employed with the Hamilton County maintenance Department and exemplified that same exceptional character.

He took pleasure in the simple things of life. He was one of the most humble and kind-hearted people you will ever meet.  He was truly a gem! He never met a stranger and had words of wisdom for anyone that would listen.

Willie was affiliated with the Pure Church of Righteousness and was happy to help support the ministry.

He loved God and worshipped in a quiet way.

In 2022, he became ill and moved to Alma, GA under the care of his son, Michael.

On June 19, 2024, he heard the Master's call and quickly bid this old world, farewell!

Two nieces that he helped to raise as his own, Victoria Postell and Denise Postell, both of Jasper, FL.

He also leaves fond memories in the hearts of his 21 grandchildren and many, many great grands!

He will be missed by his daughter in law, Viola Brown of Live Oak, FL.

His sisters in law, Bernice Smith and Ernestine Smith of Jasper, FL and Gwendolyn Smith of White Springs, FL will forever hold him in their hearts.

He leaves treasured memories in the heart of his brother in law, Enoch Clark, Sr.
