Barbara Perry

Barbara Jean Therese Perry (OCDS) passed away at 89 years old on Saturday, April 18th, 2020 at Diamond Willow Assisted Living in Proctor.  Here she resided the last five years.  She was born on October 5, 1930 to Gladys and Leo Perry.  Barb was a lifelong resident of Duluth and spent her life taking care of her dearest mother. Other than being her mother’s caretaker, Barb was a devout Catholic with an unwavering faith in her Lord and savior, most often found with her rosary in hand. She had a contagious smile and a laugh that could warm the coldest heart. Barb was a member of St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, the National ProLife Alliance, and was a third order Secular Carmelite Sister, which was her passion. She is preceded in death by her mother Gladys, her father Leo, and sister Virginia. She will be dearly missed by her fellow residents and caretakers at Diamond Willow, whom she never failed to greet with a warming hug.  Services are private.  Burial is at Calvary Cemetery.  Arrangements by Dougherty Funeral Home, Duluth, 218-727-3555.
