Illah B. Perrin

I was Illah's great granddaughter. I was one of the many who called her Janie my entire life. My Mom always said that she felt too young to be called "grandma". Janie was an amazing woman, and I wish I got to spend more time with her to learn about her and her life. In class, we were studying WWII and the Cold War. It was then that I realized that Janie had LIVED through those times. She was an amazing woman, and anyone would have been lucky to know her. -Bailey Karpa

Dear Perrin Family - I am so sad to hear of Illah's passing and send my deepest sympathy to you all. What an incredible obituary - your words captured her to a "tee"! I feel fortunate to have known this inspirational woman. - Janeene (Ward) Nagaoka
