Eleanor "Joye" Perkins

Heaven gained an angel, Eleanor Joye Perkins, 94, on August 19, 2019. She was preceded in death by her husband James C. Perkins and her step-son James A. Perkins, and sisters Betty Jean and Marjorie Mae.

We will miss her dearly, but are comforted in knowing she is with God, and feel truly blessed to have had her in our lives. She will forever be in our hearts.
