GOULDSBORO – Pauline Erma “Polly” Perry passed away peacefully June 11, 2013, at Mountain Vista, Franklin. She was born Sept. 27, 1931, in Steuben, daughter of Ernest Raymond Dyer and Fidelia Kathleen (Pinkham) Hanington.
Polly married Forrest Emerson “Sonny” Perry April 7, 1951. She worked hard for her family. She made nets, packed fish and was laundress at Milbridge Nursing Home. She enjoyed sewing, crafts, knitting and yard sales. She was also an avid reader. Polly loved her family, “warts and all,” and was her sister Loretta’s best friend. She was always the one that everyone called when something happened and she always came through. She will be missed by many.
Polly is survived by son, Steven F. Perry and wife, Catherine, of Jonesport; daughter, Kathy Lynn Caler and husband, Delbert, of Harrington; and grandchildren, James F. Perry and wife, Ann, and their children, Maggie, Mallory and Malcolm of Gouldsboro, Christopher C. Perry of Jonesport and Forrest W. Caler of Harrington and his children, Breonna and Raven. She is also survived by brothers, George R. Hanington of Steuben and Dale E. Hanington and wife Jean, of Benton; sisters, Loretta Sutherland and husband, John, of Sullivan and Lois Perez of El Paso, Texas; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband in 1993; and sister, Phyllis Woods.
A committal service will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family at Steuben Village Cemetery. Arrangements by Bragdon-Kelley Funeral Homes, Milbridge.
