In Loving Memory of Jessie Perry
October 31, 1938 – March 9, 2026

Jessie Perry, the beloved heart of her family, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2026, at the age of 87. Born on Halloween in 1938 to Emily and Charles McNamara, Jessie's life was defined by her sharp mind, her creative hands, and an unbreakable devotion to her family.

Jessie's greatest passion was her family. She lived for the moments spent with her children and especially her grandchildren, finding her deepest joy in their company. She is preceded in death by her two sons, Joseph Perry and Louis Perry II, with whom she is now reunited.

She is survived by her siblings, Helen Hanson and Joe McNamara, and her four children: Linda Gonzalez, Toni Gray, Tina Garcia, and Victor Perry. Her enduring legacy lives on through a proud lineage of 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.

Jessie was rarely one to sit idle. She spent countless hours "keeping her mind sharp" with puzzles, playing cards, and Yahtzee. She was a regular at Bingo, where she enjoyed the thrill of the game and the company of friends. She was also a very talented artist, known for her crocheting, and she left behind handmade pieces for her family and friends.

Jessie's favorite meals always featured seafood, spaghetti, or a steak. Whether it was a quiet dinner or a large family celebration, a plate of her favorite food, a puzzle on the table, and the presence of her family made for a perfect day.

Jessie leaves behind a family that spans generations, all of whom carry a piece of her spirit. She will be remembered for her resilience, her hobbies, and the immense love she poured into every grandchild and great-grandchild.

Jessie will be remembered for her resilience, her sharp wit, and her unwavering dedication to those she loved.
