Medora Perri Obituary

Medora Lee Perri
Medora Lee Perri, 89, of Naples, FL, formerly of Madison, CT, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, after a long illness. Medora was predeceased by her beloved husband, Frank Perri, and her sister, Joan Strauss. She is survived by her half-brother, Michael Smith; half-sister, Tracy Smith; her son, Steven Jones; his wife, Deborah; granddaughter, Jennifer Coberly; grandson, Brad Jones; great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Medora and Frank loved to travel, and together they travelled the world while collecting treasures along the way. The best treasure was their love for one another.
Thank you to Dick and Kathy Spero for the countless hours and dedication to Medora, and for their exceptional friendship with the Perri family. Also, gratitude for the care given by her companions and the caregivers at the All Seasons Memory Care in Naples. A special thank you to the Avow Hospice care team. Their care and compassion were exemplary.
