Marjorie “Ann” (Matthews) Perrin was born on April 18, 1940 in Miller, Okla., the daughter of James Levi Matthews and Jewel (Spalding) Matthews. Ann married the love of her life, Billy Perrin on Aug. 10, 1957 in Hugo, Okla. Together, Billy and Ann raised two girls in Antlers before moving to Hugo where they resided for more than 20 years. Billy and Ann had lived in Durant the last several years. She is preceded in death by her husband; her parents; daughter, Cynthia “Cindy” Ann Perrin; brothers: Jack Matthews and Dean Matthews; and sisters: Jimmie Taylor and Dora Jane Coggins.

Ann was as honest as they come. She had a giving and caring heart. She gave to families at Christmas time. She was a natural humanitarian. Ann had a God given ability to make people feel loved and accepted, especially those who did not feel they were. Ann was all about family, but she mothered many throughout the years. She also had many talents. Ann did many things in her life including ran a shoe store, ran an insurance agency, and was “the book keeper” behind all businesses that Billy and her owned. Ann loved to sew and she sewed all the rodeo clothes for Cindy and Jackie Jo growing up. She was also an amazing bargain shopper, however no one would ever know because of her great sense of style. Ann made some great memories traveling and one of her favorite memories was her and Samantha’s 25-day trip to Alaska. Most of all, Ann loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She loved Jesus from the top of her head to the tip of her toes, and she was quick to let you know her love for Jesus and all His blessings bestowed upon the Perrin family. Ann loved her family with all her heart, especially her grandkids and great-grandkids. She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Ann loved Billy with all her heart and together they were a force of nature. Everything the dynamic duo set out to accomplish, they accomplished. The couple have owned and operated five different livestock markets. Ann was a woman of integrity, intelligence and determination. She loved her family and spending time with them.

Ann is survived by her daughter, Jackie Jo Perrin of Durant; brother, Steve Matthews and wife, JoAnn (Perrin) Matthews of Impson Valley, Okla.; grandchildren: Samantha Baker Scott and husband, Joseph Baker Scott of Durant, Lane Edward Perrin and Erica of Covington, Okla., and Jericho Holder and Morgan of Soper, Okla.; great-grandchildren: Lainey Jo Perrin, Paisley Dawn, Selleck Holder, Kai Leo Baker Scott, Lyncoln Rose Baker Scott, and Lux Baker Scott, along with numerous other relatives and friends.
