Gordon Perdue

WRENS, Ga. - Gordon Columbus Perdue, 80, loving husband of 57 years to Elizabeth Tatrn Perdue, entered into rest Thursday morning, May 22, 2014 at his residence. Funeral services will be held at 3:00PM Sunday, May 25, 2014 at Wrens Baptist Church with Rev. J. Scott McKinney officiating, with interment following in the Wrens Memorial Gardens Cemetery. One of two children born to the late Ada Cooper Perdue and the late C. A. Lum Perdue, Gordon was a lifelong resident of Wrens, a member of the Neighborhood Watch, a faithful member of Wrens Baptist Church, a member of the Walter Jacobsen Sunday School Class and a greeter for worship service. He proudly served our country in the Army. Gordon retired with 30+ years of service as an electrician/ plumber at Fort Gordon. He enjoyed tinkering on anything mechanical, working in his vegetable garden, listening to bluegrass music and socializing at Peggy's. Gordon was a very gregarious man and loved people-if someone was there to listen, he always had a story to tell. He was a devoted husband, a great father and an incredible grandfather. He lived a Christian life and enjoyed every minute of it. Other survivors include his children, Danielle R. Perdue, Jeffrey G. Perdue (Demarice) and Alice Ann Moore (Tim); sister, Jayne Morales (Joseph); five grandchildren, Eric Perdue, Adam Perdue, Samantha Moore, Malana Jayne Moore and Tre Moore; and many friends.
