I feel blessed to have known and worked for a short while with Dorothy. She had a way of making the children feel that each of them were special. She and Leo made a great couple. She will be missed so very much but each of you have so many beautiful memories. Sorry that I couldn't make it to visitation but please know that my thoughts and prayers will continue to be with each of you. Fondly, Connie Arnold Gates
Mrs. Perry was one of my favorite teachers. She was my fifth grade teacher in 79-80. I have great memories from her class. I am now a teacher as well and I think of her every time I read the book, "Where the Red Fern Grows", to my own classes. I catch myself trying to read it with a southern accent to sound like she did! She was a dedicated teacher that inspired so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Mrs. Perry was my beloved 6th grade Language Arts teacher. I think of her often as I am now a 6th grade teacher as well. She was truly a classy lady that taught her students to handle life with grace and poise...and a firm handshake! Her legacy carries on in many.
Mrs. Perry was such a kind spirit, and her practice of teaching lessons that went well beyond the mandated curriculum have influenced my own teaching. I will always remember the day she pulled me out of another class simply to tell me how much she enjoyed reading a paper that I wrote; her effort and encouragement meant the world to me. Prayers to the family as they reflect upon and remember her life.
Mrs Perry was a lovely lady and a great teacher, had the privilege of working with her when my youngest son was in Elementary. She always had a smile and was a very positive and caring person. Prayers for her family, you have many wonderful memories of a great mother. God Bless, Marilyn Combs
