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. Her 90 years of life were full of those things she held most dear: faith, family, friends and flowers. God has surely added a precious and beautiful bloom to heaven's garden.
