Theda Annette (Aka Aunt Red) Haire Perrin

Theda Annette Haire Perrin (Aka Aunt Red) was born August 21, 1947, and went to heaven on January 15, 2026. She was born in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana. and raised in the Wallace Community. Although she never had children of her own, she was always there to help raise, “spoil” all her nieces and nephews. She was happiest when the family gathered to enjoy great food and family time together and she was always there to listen and help if needed.

She was preceded in death by her parents Hattie and Truman Haire, along with her brother Valrey and his wife Jessie, her brother Jack and his wife Aubyn, her brother Waymon Haire, and one sister Mary Ann Hinds and her husband Terral. She is survived by her sister- in -law Bobbie Nell Haire and too many nieces, nephews, grands, great grands to mention them all.

Aunt Red worked at Cypress Baptist Church for over 30 years. She had numerous jobs while there, but Brother Billy Pierce used to say she was there to keep him in line and they were great friends till the end.

One of her hobbies - first and foremost - was collecting antiques. She would go to garage sales and find all the bargains. She wrote a letter 20 years ago stating that she found an urn at a garage sale that we could put her in. Where that urn is now – nobody knows but it’s probably buried in her garage with all the other great treasures she has accumulated over the years. The boys told her she was never moving again after they had the task of moving her and her “treasures” from Bossier.

She also enjoyed plants. She could tell you what they were , how to care for them and give you a cutting to start one of your own. She had so many different varieties that it took a horse trailer to move them all to Wallace.

The family suggests any memorials go to Wallace Baptist Church, Wallace Cemetery, or St Jude Children’s Hospital .

A celebration of life service will be held at Wallace Baptist Church on February 28, 2026 with visitation beginning at 10 A.M. and the service to follow at 11 A.M. Following the fellowship meal with family and friends, interment will be at Wallace Cemetery.
