Funeral services for Juanita Lou Prescott Perkins of McKinney were held April 1, 2011, at Allen Funeral Home Chapel.

Mrs. Perkins died March 23.

Her family said she served them as both loving mother and devoted friend. “She was always available with encouragement and compassion. Her influence and values have shaped and carried generations of her family,” they said.

Mrs. Perkins loved being in the mountains, both in Colorado and the Davis Mountains, and she was an ardent animal lover who was always willing to take in an animal in need.

Survivors include her son, Gary Perkins; daughters, Marsha Christensen and her husband Ron; and Deborah Crockett and her husband James Robert; special “soul sister,” Billie Jo Wilson; grandchildren, Beau Christopher Bonner, Bryan Jason Perkins, Desiree Crockett, Jennifer Stacy Perkins Holmes, Ashley Michelle Perkins Christensen and Logan Conner Perkins; and great-granddaughter, Bailey Alexandra Perkins Holmes.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William Perkins, and parents, George and Ethel Prescott.

The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the SPCA of Texas.
