Marguerite Perkins, loved to stay home with family
Marguerite Helen Perkins spent her life caring for others.
Mrs. Perkins, who died Wednesday at 85, first cared for her husband, Robert E. Perkins, who died in 1968.
Then she cared for her mother, who died in 1972, and her sister, who died in 1991. Then she cared for her brother-in-law, who died a year later.
"She would have been a wonderful nurse, " said her daughter, Teena Findley, who has lived with her mother in Taylor Mill all her life.
"She was a wonderful, compassionate, loving, caring, responsible, conscientious person."
Born in Rockcastle County, she moved to Decoursey while still a child and graduated from Dixie Heights High School in 1939.
She met her husband during World War II when he was stationed in Fort Thomas, and they married
in October 1942. After his death, she never remarried or even dated, her daughter said.
