Donnell D. Perkins
June 11, 1947 - April 11, 2019
PERKINS, Donnell D., age 71, of Oregonia and formerly of Dayton, passed away Thurs. April 11, 2019 at Hospice of Dayton. Donnell graduated from Wilbur Wright High School, class of ’66. He retired from GM in 2000 after 30 years of service. Strong-willed, giving, loving, and often a jokester, Donnell could be described as a jack-of-all-trades and the type of guy who would do anything for you. He greatly enjoyed hunting, golfing, fishing, and gardening. During his younger days, he enjoyed working on cars, even racing a Chevelle for a while. Among the many things, he will be remembered for his love of sweet foods, especially Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and brownies. He was preceded in death by his wife, Judy, in 2017 and his parents Delmar and Ermal Perkins. He is survived by his son Donnie Perkins; three sister Brenda (Tony) Rodgers, JoAnne Collins, and Polly (Terry) Efaw; and three sisters-in-law Pat Hurst, Jan Vacchiani, and Sharon Griffith. The family will receive friends 11 AM - 12 PM Mon. April 22 at Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville. A memorial service will follow the visitation at 12 PM Mon. followed by a committal service at Miami Cemetery in Corwin. Celebrant Dan Flory will be officiating the services.
