Obituary of Erland Perry

(Nee Melville)

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our adored mother Erland on Friday, October 18, 2024, at the Hamilton General Hospital, in her 90th year. Beloved wife of the late Harold Perry. Predeceased by her sister Shirley and brother-in-law George Getzinger. Loving mother of Wayne (Darlene), Brian (Mary), Raymond (Anna) and Kevin. Cherished grandmother of Matthew (Teresa), Joel (Samantha), Breanna and the late Todd (Paige). Doting great-grandmother to Claire, Dawson, Austin, Ricki, Harper, Peyton and Olive.

Erland moved to Hamilton when she married Harold and together, they raised their four sons. She spent many years driving the boys to hockey practices and games. Summers were spent at Round Lake where the family enjoyed the outdoors and fishing. Erland was an avid knitter who made mittens and scarves for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was happiest when surrounded by her family and she greatly enriched the lives of all around her.

Cremation has taken place. Friends will be received at the Donald V. Brown Funeral Home, 36 Lake Avenue Drive, Stoney Creek on Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 10 a.m. until the time of Funeral Service at 11 a.m. in the Funeral Home Chapel.
