Ms. Persha was such a wonderful and dedicated member of our church for as long as l can remember. She always had a smile and was willing to assist in any way possible. Long time church secretary. I remember her reading the announcements in Sunday service. I visited her several times at the facility she was gracious and delighted to see Church members. Rest in peace.
