Maureen Elizabeth Perkins, age 71 of Orlando passed away after a long, stubborn battle with cancer on March 12, 2020. Maureen was born in Pittsfield, MA to George and Marie Marshall on December 4, 1948.

She is survived by her husband, Wilfred E. Perkins, Jr and son, Scott Perkins along with his wife Missy and daughter Sarah. Maureen was preceded in death by her daughter Denise.

She was a follower of Jesus and displayed generosity and hospitality to those she knew and did not know. Every day she let her love of the Lord shine. This gives her family hope and comfort knowing that separation is temporary and there will be a great union in the eternal Kingdom of Jesus.

Maureen was a fighter. For over a decade she battled a second occurrence of breast cancer. When others would have given up, Moe (as her friends called her) put one foot in front of the other and refused to give up hope.

She was a wife of over 50 years, which takes endurance by anyone's measure. (See the photos page for a picture of Moe and Will on their 50th anniversary day.)

Two children were born to the union of Maureen and Wilfred. An amazing, handsome son (who is typing this) Scott, and a beautiful, strong daughter Denise.

Scott married a small, vivacious woman named Missy and they had a daughter named Sarah Grace. Through all Moe's struggles, Sarah remained a source of strength and encouragement. They had a close relationship. (See the photos page for a picture of the entire family on vacation in Portland Maine.)

There is so much more to say about Maureen and we hope you will share stories on this page. Already she is missed desperately and her family feels a deep void where her presence once stood.

Maureen did not want a funeral service. Her ashes will be interred at Cape Canaveral Cemetary. A celebration of life party is planned for April. For more information email her son Scott at scottperkster@gmail.com .
