Jeanne W. Perry 1920 - 2015 At the end of a life well lived we are sad to announce the death of Jeanne Wendy Perry on December 16, 2015. Jeanne lived a life of adventure, of challenge, of change, of dedication and of love. If we could give her one more gift, we would give her the gift of seeing herself as others saw her; a beautiful woman inside and out, a loving, generous and caring wife, parent and grandparent, sister and friend. Jeanne was born October 12, 1920 in Ystradgynlais, South Wales and came to Canada in 1946 following her Canadian husband Allan Perry. Together they raised four children. Jeanne was a World War II Veteran, serving in the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force) at Bletchley Park. She held many fond (and secret) memories of her efforts there including the time she and the entire code-breaking team shook hands with Prime Minister Winston Churchill. She was an artist, a knitter, a reader, loved music and singing and enjoyed sailing. She was a wonderful cook and loved to entertain. She was dedicated to lifelong learning becoming an Art Docent to bring Art to school children and becoming a Medical Record Librarian at a time when she had teenagers and her parents living at home. She was committed to her community as a volunteer who touched the hearts of many through Saskatchewan Hospital Auxiliary, Kinettes, Sweet Adelines, and St. Paul’s United Church, She helped change a town into a city with culture and art as she was a founding member of the National Exhibition Center in Estevan and helped prepare briefs to the Federal Government for funding and also fundraising for a new hospital. Jeanne was predeceased by her husband Allan, parents David and Alice Phillips, her brother Bill Phillips and her nephews Michael Phillips and David Price. She will be dearly missed by her children; Sheila Krueger (Jim), Rick Perry (Linda), Susan Perry Arsenault (Lowell) and Tim Perry (Tracey); 13 grandchildren; Jayne Krueger (Jeff Jickling), Nora Krueger (Glen Keizer), Mandi Perry Zohner (Mike), Tamela Hooper (Dean), Trina Sieben (Gavin), Tyler Perry (Amanda), Travis Perry, Brandy Miller (Aren), Bonnie Rudneski (Brian), Steven Perry (Barrett), Alex Grundeen, Kate Grundeen, Carla Young (Steve), 18 great grandchildren; her sister, Mary Price and many nieces, nephews and friends. We are very grateful for the wonderful care given to Mom in her final years at Hillview Manor, Estevan. It is with mixed emotions that we give thanks for her life and say goodbye. Please join us as we remember Jeanne and her remarkable life on December 30, 2015 at 11:00 a.m .at St. Paul’s United Church, Estevan, SK with Sandy Dalziel officiating. Lunch reception will be held at St. Paul’s United Church social hall immediately following the service. Interment to take place at the Estevan City Cemetery.
