Marion Estelle Perkins
09/09/1928 - 07/01/2020
On September 9, 1928, a baby girl who they named Marion Estelle, was born to Madison Fletcher and Mary Lunsford Cassada. Ninety-one years later, on July 1, 2020, this little girl left this earth to be with her Heavenly Father. Her parents were Christians and they taught their daughter from an early age to love God and believe in His Son Jesus Christ. Her faith remained strong her entire life. She loved her church, First Baptist of South Hill , where she was an active member. She served as a Sunday School teacher, WMU leader and was so honored to serve as a deacon. On September 14, 1946, Estelle married Hubert Perkins. He was the love of her life and her best friend. They had forty-eight wonderful years together and raised four children. Estelle was an employee of Peebles Dept. Store and mentored so many young women there. She was a volunteer for the CMH Auxiliary for many years until her health no longer allowed. She was also a volunteer with CMH Hospice. Estelle was predeceased by her parents Fletcher and Mary Cassada, her husband Hubert Perkins and eight brothers; Brooks, Marshall, Woodrow, Clay, Odell, Johnny, Howard and Max Cassada. Living to carry on her memories are children, Brenda Curtis and her husband Jim, Joan Williamson and her husband Larry, Nancy Fleshood and her husband Kell and David Perkins. Estelle and Hubert had eight grandchildren; Tracey Cosimano (John), Suzanne Wisnieski (Scott), Catherine Curtis (Amos) Aimee Haessly (Steve) Leslie Spears (Tanner) Kris Walker (Scott) Caleb Fleshood (Martha) and Cassie Perkins. They had nine great grandchildren; Caroline Youngson, Brittney Douglas, Brianna Douglas, Robin Kovac, Christian Lee, Joshua Lee, Adam Spears, Claaire Walker and Charlotte Walker.

Deepest Sympathy
I am so sad for her family, but so happy for Estelle because I know she is at peace at last and is rejoicing in Heaven with her loved ones gone on before and her Lord and Savior. She was one of the nicest and sweetest ladies on this earth. It was my pleasure to be her friend and to know and love all of her family. May God go with each of you in the months ahead without her. Lots of love from my home to yours. Nanny B
My deepest sympathy to the family of this beautiful lady.
To Nancy and the rest of the family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this sad time. You Mom was a super nice lady and will be missed by all who knew her. She will continue to live on through the love and memories of her family.
Light of a Clear Blue Morning
What a brilliant, lovely, gentle light Mrs. Perkins was. It was my great fortune and privilege to work with her at Peebles, and to attend FBC with her for many years. Prayers for all her loved ones- that their treasured memories of her will bring a measure of the peace, joy, strength and laughter that she would wish for them. I will miss her so much- but rejoice that she is now part of a wonderful reunion in Heaven.
Cathy Curtis and Family, we are keeping you and your family in our sincere prayers. Memories are forever.
Such a loss for a wonderful family. A family I have certainly been close to for years. Keep your memories as prayers are with you.
