Jean Perry, formerly of Newport, New York, died Sept. 14, 2006 at Whidbey General Hospital. Jean was born Dec. 11, 1941 to Charles and Beulah Warmuth.

Jean married Kenneth Maurice Perry on April 20, 1959 in Newport. The U.S. Navy brought Jean and Ken to Whidbey Island in 1966. Ken retired from the Navy in 1976. Jean and Ken raised a happy family on Whidbey Island and they have loved living here.

Jean loved to crochet and knit. She also had a love for cats, Labradors, and wildlife. Jean’s greatest gift was her gift of love and devotion, to her husband, and her family.
