SOPHIA BEARDEN

January 21, 1963 - October 17, 2021

PERRY – Sophia Lorraine Bearden, 58, passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Funeral Services will be held on Sunday, October 24, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. at Watson-Hunt Funeral Home with Pastor Bobby Nix officiating. A private Interment for the family will be in Oglethorpe Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions to assist with the funeral arrangements sent to Watson-Hunt Funeral Home, P.O. Box 52, Perry, GA 31069. She was born in January 21, 1963, in a U.S. Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia, to the late Wade Hampton Bearden and the late Sara Betty Creel Bearden. Sophia had been sick on and off for many years, but always bounced right back; she truly was a tough one! Some of her pleasures in life were spending time with family and friends, traveling, eating fresh seafood at the beach, enjoying all things western, and being the life of the party. Sophia loved her many animals – her horse “Roller,” and her many dogs, cats, and chickens. She has always enjoyed driving a variety of sports cars, and in the most recent years, it was her red corvette. Sophia spent the last 25 of her years loving life with Chad Moate. She is preceded in death by her parents, Wade “Rap” and Betty Bearden. Left to cherish the memories they made with Sophia are her brothers, Hamp Bearden and Kenny Bearden (Alison); her aunt, Ruth Creel Wall; and her nephews, Ethan Bearden, Brady Bearden, and Dalton Bearden, all of the Perry area. Condolences for the family may be left in the online guestbook at www.watsonhunt.com. Watson-Hunt Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
