Wiladean Roberson McClellan Ball

October 14, 1931 - August 17, 2025

It is with deep love and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Wiladean Roberson McClellan Ball, who went home to be with the Lord on August 17, 2025, at the age of 93, in her hometown of Waycross, Georgia.

Born on October 14, 1931, Wiladean lived a life full of love, dedication, and quiet strength. She was deeply passionate about sewing and found great joy in creating beautiful clothes for her daughters-garments they were always thrilled to receive and proud to wear. Her creativity and talent were matched only by her kind heart and devotion to her family.

Wiladean was preceded in death by her parents, Sonnie Milton Roberson and Arabell Aspinwall Roberson; her beloved daughter, Phyllis Perdue; her brothers, James Carl Roberson, Claude Lester Roberson, Allen Russell Roberson, John Oliver Roberson, Alvin O'dell Roberson, Lenton Roberson, and Joseph Laughton Roberson; her dear sisters, Cora Lee Pierce, Elsie Mae Dennison, Bertie Mae Davis, and Eulice Parker; and her loving spouses, H.G. McClellan and David Ball.

She is survived by her devoted daughter, Vicki Tillman of Waycross, GA; her grandchildren, Stacy Becker of Tolar, TX; Scott Perdue of Hico, TX, and her great-granddaughter, Brittany Becker of Tolar, TX; her sister-in-love, Betty Roberson of Offerman, GA; her sweet cats, Napoleon and Sherman, and several nieces and nephews.

Wiladean will be remembered for her warm heart, creative spirit, and unwavering love for her family. Her strength, kindness, and devotion left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."

- Proverbs 31:25

Though her earthly journey has ended, Wiladean's legacy of love, faith, and grace will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
