Eleanor Dean Perkins, 90
WHITE COTTAGE - Eleanor Dean Perkins, 90, of South Zanesville, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on Monday, April 28, 2008.

Perkie was loved by all who knew her. She was especially loved by her family, to whom she dedicated her life.

She cherished 11 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and two precious companions, her cat "Perkie 2" and dog "Jamaica."
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by one brother; and two sisters.
Eleanor had a passion for nature evidenced by her yard full of trees, flowering gardens and bird feeders. She knew the scent, sound and name of each creation found on "God and Perkie's little acre." Perkie was a courageous, strong, yet very gentle woman. She found good in every person and any situation. She was never at a loss for words, offering wisdom, encouragement, kindness and pardon to all she met.
