Era Christene Berryman Bunch
January 25, 1929 – October 22, 2020
Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother stepped into Heaven on Thursday, October 22, 2020, after 91 years and 9 months of living a life of love and compassion. She was radiant as her Lord and Savior greeted her. She was welcomed into Heaven by her husband, Woodrow F. Bunch; her parents, Henry Houston and Era Gertrude Brazile Berryman; her loving brother, Dalton Berryman; and sister, Ilene Berryman Tyra.
Her children, Paul Bunch (Marcia), Carolyn Parrish (Glenn), and David Bunch (Denesa), all of Mantachie, MS, celebrate her life of teaching them by example, faith, honesty, and the value of hard work.
Her grandchildren, Christopher Parrish (Tammy), Michael Bunch (Cristal), Lindsey Parrish Christian, Ben Bunch (Megan), Cody Bunch (Katie), Wesley Bunch, and Kristen Bunch, loved their grandmother who taught them about nature, love of all living things, and the joy of family.
Her great-grandchildren, Will Christian, Noah Howard, Elizabeth Christian, Noah Bunch, Bea Bunch, and Mika Bunch, will forever have loving memories of her, her hugs, and her cookie jar.
A service celebrating the life of Era Christene Berryman Bunch will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, October 24, under the pavilion at Oak Grove Cemetery in the Ratliff community with Bro. Danny Rushing officiating. Visitation will be from 12:30 p.m. until service time at the pavilion. McNeece-Morris Funeral Home of Mantachie is in charge of arrangements.
Her grandsons, Chris Parrish, Michael Bunch, Ben Bunch, Cody Bunch, Wesley Bunch, and Will Christian, cherish the honor of serving as pallbearers for their grandmother/great-grandmother.
In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Christene and her family request that you spend special time with your families to celebrate the blessings that the Lord has given you.
The family would like to thank every family member, friend, and professional person who supported them and Mrs. Christene on this journey. God bless you all.
