Dorothy May Perry, 85, left this world on Thursday, November 11, 2021. She is now rejoicing in Heaven with her beloved husband, Harold and with all of her heavenly family and friends, welcoming her into her new and glorious eternal home.

She was born on January 12, 1936 in Sycamore, Ohio to John and Thelma Ritchey. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother of four children, eleven grandchildren, and eighteen great-grandchildren.

Dorothy and Harold served the community for many years as Youth Leaders in their church. They also served the Lord by doing missionary work in several foreign countries. They were a big part of the Church of God Project Partner Organization. Dorothy’s career included both Floral Design (creating beautiful flower arrangements) and being a partner in her husband’s entrepreneurial ventures. She had an adventurous passion for traveling. Her favorite places were Branson, Mo (Silver Dollar City) and Disney World. Dorothy loved the holidays. Her number one holiday was Christmas. Her family and friends called her the “Christmas Queen”. She loved decorating! The more decorations the better!
