Tyler Perry’s Mother Dies at Age 64

Tyler and the Late Maxine Perry

Yesterday, Movie Producer and Actor Tyler Perry sent out an email that announced the passing of his mother Maxine Perry; she was 64 years old. It was then retweeted and news spread fast of the passing of his mother.

Maxine Perry had been suffering from an illness not disclosed by Perry since late August per a Facebook status that stated “Please Pray for Mother Maxine Perry– Tyler’s Mom”

From GospelFab! and the Entire Fab Empire Family, we pray blessings and peace and send our condolences to the Perry Family.

Maxine Perry was a pre-school teacher who worked at the New Orleans Jewish Community Center most of her life.

Perry said he and his siblings endured the abuse of their father Emmett R. Perry Sr., for whom Tyler was named before changing his name. But he said his mother bore the brunt of the abuse when he was younger.
