ERMA LEE SHOOK PERRIN, 85, went home to be
with her Lord & Savior on Jan. 31, 2014 to be reunited
with her husband Heulon Lamar Perrin, her Mother &
Daddy, John & Inez Shook, two brothers Donley Shook
and Grady Shook (RHS-1949). Burial was at the Alameda
Cemetery near Ranger, TX.
Erma Lee was born to John & Inez Shook on Sept 6, 1928
in Jacksboro, TX. They moved to Ranger where Erma Lee
would graduate from Ranger High School in the Class of
1945.
Erma Lee had a giving nature and soft heart and that is
how she won the heart of Heulon Lamar Perrin. While Lamar
was away serving his country in WWII, she began writing
letters to him. They had never met but Erma Lee continued
writing Lamar so this soldier would always have a letter
on mail day.
When Lamar returned to Ranger he began farming peanuts.
Erma Lee went to the field to meet her soldier face to
face. In April of 1947, Lamar and Erma Lee began their
life as one in the Chaney Community.
They raised three children; Heulon Lamar Perrin Jr. (RHS-
1966), Barbara Elaine Edwards (RHS-1970) who is married
to Joe Edwards (RHS-1965) of Ranger and David Bryan Perrin
(RHS-1979) who is married to Darlene of Granbury. These
three children brought Erma Lee more blessings with grand-
children; Jimmy Don Perrin married to Stacy of Lubbock;
Christy O’Leary married to Dennis of Fredrickburg; Cathy
Collins married to Dan of Greensboro, NC; Joe Edwards Jr.
of Ranger; Christoper Neil Perrin married to Amanda of
Breckenridge, Shelbi Denae married to Carlos Valdez of
Weatherford; Chris Bryan Perrin married to Angela of
Ranger; Heath Harris married to Kaleena of Tucson, AZ;
