Deborah Isobel Perry, 70, of Mathews, was called home to the Lord Tuesday, July
28, 2020 at home surrounded by her children. Debby was born in Windsor, Nova
Scotia on May 18, 1950, to Ralph Parsons and Elizabeth Mary Cochrane.
She was a parishioner at the Church of St. Francis De Sales in Mathews, Virginia. Debby
was an active member in her church, teaching Sunday school and taking time for
missions especially in Haiti. When her children were young, she could be found
on the sidelines of every softball and soccer game and at every chorus concert,
cheering the loudest. She helped many young ladies as a Girl Scout leader and
camp counselor for Brownie Troop 1263 and Junior Troop 379 in Plymouth,
Massachusetts. She was an avid Boston Red Sox fan, rooting for them every
chance she got. Debby was always happiest with her family, especially her
grandchildren. Her greatest titles were Wife, Mom, and Gramma.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Francis Perry, her parents,
and sister, Wendy Maxie. She is survived by her three children, daughter Rachael
and her husband, Greg Lumpkin, and their children Savannah and Fred, of
Chesterfield, VA; daughter, Rebecca and her husband, Joe Molnar, and their
children Tommy and Kaitlyn, of Cary, NC; and son, Rich Perry and his children,
Audrina and Raiden, of Mathews; and two sisters Helen MacDonald and Lois
MacAskill.
