Heaven Called Mama Home
Verse 1
One hundred and one years…
What a beautiful story only God could write.
Through every season, every joy and every storm,
You stood with quiet strength and unwavering faith.
Some called you Mama.
Some called you Mom.
Some knew you as Grandma.
Others lovingly called you Nana.
To so many, you were simply Mrs. Mabry.
Different names, but they all meant the same thing…
Love.
You welcomed everyone with open arms,
A gentle smile and a heart that never ran out of room.
You taught us kindness by living it every day,
Showing us that faith is measured by how we love.
Pre-Chorus
The Lord looked down and softly whispered,
“My child, it’s time to come home.”
Your race was finished,
Your heavenly crown was waiting.
Chorus
Heaven called Mama home,
But your love will never leave.
It’s written in our hearts,
In every lesson we believe.
Now you’re walking hand in hand
With Old Pig once again,
Holding Marcella close,
Where all heartache finally ends.
Though our tears still fall,
We find comfort knowing this…
Heaven gained an angel,
And we’re forever blessed by your love.
Verse 2
You raised five remarkable sons
And two beautiful daughters,
Teaching them faith,
Strength, sacrifice,
Forgiveness, and unconditional love.
Your greatest treasure wasn’t what you owned,
But the family you built
And the generations you inspired.
Every meal around the table,
Every birthday,
Every holiday,
Every prayer before bed,
Every hug and every word of encouragement
Became memories we’ll carry forever.
You showed us faith wasn’t just spoken on Sundays.
It was lived every day—
Through hard work,
Quiet prayers,
Selfless giving,
And a love that never failed.
Bridge
Now we picture you smiling,
Walking streets of gold,
Your hand resting safely
In Old Pig’s once again.
What a reunion Heaven must have seen…
James welcoming you home,
Marcella embracing you,
Together praising the Savior
You faithfully served.
And now you’re looking down on us,
Still smiling when we gather,
Still praying for your family,
Still reminding us to trust God,
Love one another,
And keep this family strong.
Final Chorus
Heaven called Mama home,
But your story will never end.
It lives through your children,
Your grandchildren,
Your great-grandchildren,
And every life you touched.
One hundred and one incredible years
Could never measure
Everything you gave this world.
You taught us that grace is powerful,
Faith is unshakable,
Family is life’s greatest blessing,
And love never ends.
Today we don’t just say goodbye.
We celebrate a life well lived,
A race faithfully finished,
And a legacy that time can never erase.
Rest peacefully, Lillie Ruth Mabry…
Our Mama.
Our Mom.
Our Grandma.
Our Nana.
Our Mrs. Mabry.
Keep watching over us until we’re together again.
We’ll honor your name,
Carry your faith,
Live by your example,
And love each other the way you loved us.
Because true love never dies…
It simply goes home first.
