PURCELL-NEWCASTLE, MCCLAIN CO, OK

(permission granted)

Patricia Ann Perry, Age 74, of Navarre, Florida, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her family, on June 17, 2015, after a courageous 6.5 year battle with cancer. She was born on September 18, 1940, in Wayne, Oklahoma. She was the eldest of two daughters born to Claud Patrick and Lorene (Hobson) Patrick. Patricia grew up in the Purcell community and graduated from Purcell High School with the class of 1958. In November of 1963, she married Henry V. Perry, also of Purcell, whom she’d known most of her life. Together they raised three children, Reba, Patrick, and Elizabeth. Henry was a career military man, and over the years the family explored much of the United States and Europe, spending many years in Lawton, Oklahoma, Oahu, Hawaii, and locations throughout Germany. When Henry retired from the Army in 1995, they settled in Navarre, Florida, where they’ve lived ever since. In addition to her roles as homemaker, wife, and mother, Patricia excelled as a licensed, award-winning Realtor for many years. For three years, she also worked for Goodwill Industries, where she loved teaching life and work skills to special needs adults, so they could live and work as independently as possible in their communities. She enjoyed crafts, photography, and crocheting, but by far, her favorite past-time was spoiling her grandchildren rotten.

She was preceded in death by her Parents: Claud and Lorene Patrick.

She is survived by her Husband of 52 years, Henry Perry, of the home in Navarre, Florida. Survived by her three children: Reba L. Keele, of Navarre, Florida; Patrick N. Perry and his wife, Sally, of Kailua, Hawaii, and; Elizabeth L. Perry, of Dallas, Texas. She has five grandchildren, Rachel and Patrick Keele, and Lily, Patrick, and Jenny Perry, and is further survived by a host of other loving relatives and friends across the nation.

Funeral services will be 1:00 P.M. Wednesday, June 24, 2015, at the Memorial Assembly of God Church. Burial will be at Hillside Cemetery in Purcell, Oklahoma.
