Dianne Perry Obituary

Dianne Perry

October 27, 1948 - September 22, 2025

Manteca, California - Dianne Perry, 76, of Manteca, entered into rest on September 22, 2025. She was born on October 27, 1948, in Canada, to the late Harry and Gladys Bienert. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Renee Kuhn.

Dianne is survived by the love of her life, Art Perry, with whom she shared 58 wonderful years of marriage. Together they built a beautiful family, raising three children: Ron Perry (wife Linda), Karen Widmer (husband Joe), and Rob Perry. She cherished her role as Grandma to her four beloved grandchildren, Ashley, Joey, Danny, and Kailyn who brought endless joy to her life. She also leaves behind her brother, Doug Bienert.

When Dianne met Art, it was truly love at first sight. After only four meetings, they married and began their journey together. She grew up in Canada and was deeply involved in 4H, showing dairy cattle and especially passionate about horses, even performing with a horse club drill team. After she and Art were married, she moved to the United States, where she carried her love of horses into her children's lives and, even five years ago, welcomed two more horses into the family.

Dianne dedicated over 30 years of her career to the family business, Perry and Sons, where she worked as a bookkeeper. She was a devoted member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, where she lived out her strong faith and deep spiritual roots.

Above all, Dianne's family was her world. She delighted in creating special memories with her grandchildren, often surprising them with thoughtful gifts and making every visit an occasion. She was humble, grateful, and deeply devoted to her family and friends, never failing to stay in touch. Through social media she was able to maintain these connections with kindness and love.

Dianne will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She lived a life of faith, humility, and generosity, touching countless lives with her warmth and unselfish love.

P.L. Fry and Son is honored to be serving the Perry family. Visitation will be on Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 3:00 pm followed by a Rosary/Vigil at 6:00 pm both held at P.L. Fry and Son Chapel 290 N. Union Rd., Manteca, Ca. A Mass will be on Friday, October 3, 2025 at 11:00 am at St. Anthony's Catholic Church 525 E. North St., Manteca Ca.
