Obituary For Ardelia Depree
Ardelia Depree was born to the late James Lee and Mary Jane Chatman Collier on November 16, 1932, in Talbotton, Georgia. She made her transition on July 13, 2022, in Newnan, Georgia.
Growing up in a Christian household, she gave her life to Christ at an early age. She attended Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, GA and went on to later receive a nursing certificate. She worked as a nursing assistant for many years before starting an at-home daycare where she groomed and nurtured many children. After living a full life with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, she retired to Grantville, GA where her favorite pastimes included caring for her flowers, baking cakes for the holidays, completing a vast amount of coloring books, putting puzzles together, feeding her hummingbirds and hand cracking nuts to feed to her squirrels. Although she was loving, she was also stern. The animals even listened to her. She truly was blessed throughout her years.
Ms. Depree was greeted in her new home by a host of angels that included her son James Anthony Brown and daughter Mattie Bennett. Also, there waiting with open arms were brothers: James, Willie, Edgar, John, Jesse, and Cleveland Collier; sisters: Viola Ainsley, Mary Cunningham and Fannie Lou Toles; and two granddaughters: Schenvia and Kulechia High.
She leaves to cherish her memory her children: Willis Brown, Elaine (Otis) Lawrence, Deborah (Maurice) Crockett and Bernard (Bernice) Depree, Jr.; many grandchildren, great- grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives

The Roach family has such happy and warm memories of Big Moma...For the past 5 years or so we would travel to Georiga from New Jersey to Tony and Debbie's home...When we got there arrival we would put our laugage down and go to Big Moma's apartment to let her know we had arrived...I would sit right in front of the candy dish located on the coffee table...Big Moma would respond to my seat choice by saying "Have Some"...I'd give a hardy chuckle because she knew with out me asking my hearts desire...and that's a Mother's love with a big heart...Thank you Big Moma for knowing and loving all your children near and far ...close and wide...state to state... We love you, Marco Zanzel and Vaniah
