Perie Lynn Powers, born on October 26, 1944, in Fort Hood, Texas, passed away peacefully at her residence on February 4, 2026. She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished moments.

Perie is survived by her husband of 38 years, Jerry Powers; her daughter, Lynn Bollard and husband Ray of Auburndale; and her three sons, Tony Belkowski and wife Chris of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Steven Belkowski of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and Eric Belkowski in Louisville, Kentucky. She also leaves behind her brother, Joseph Russo of Jacksonville, and her brother, Terry Russo of Mobile, Alabama, as well as several grandchildren who brought joy to her life.

Services will be scheduled. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.marionnelsonfuneralhome.com.
