Annie Mae Mills Epperson, age 95, transitioned to Heaven April 27, 2024. She is predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Bill Epperson, and her son Jim Epperson.
Surviving are her children, Rodger (Jane), daughter-in-law Darlene, Lynn (Donnie), Tony (Carol). Grandchildren include Rusty (Heidi), Tom (Susan), Ben (Amanda), Dana, and Lora (Andrew), as well as 13 great grandchildren
Annie Mae and Bill built a farm, opened Amelia Industrial Service, then added other businesses as time went on. Annie Mae had excellent customer relations, accounting and business skills. She could always remember who owed them money, even after 30 years!
Annie Mae always had room at her table and a warm smile for customers, friends, and most of all, family. She was affectionately known as “Granny”. Her presence was noted at every sports game or school function involving a family member, and she was a very vocal fan.
Education for her family was encouraged and she provided support to make it happen. Tremendous work ethic was a part of her being, and you were expected to work as hard as she did.
She always had time to listen and comfort everyone. Annie Mae was a sweet lady who loved people and was loved by many. She will be missed.
Please, no flowers. Just do a kind deed in her honor.
A Celebration of Life will be held June 2, 2024, at 1 pm Mattoax Presbyterian Church, 14600 Chula Rd, Amelia, VA 23002.
