Barbara A. Perry of New Braunfels TX passed away on February 9, 2017.
Barbara Frazier Anderson Perry was born February 20, 1920, to Ray and Edith Storck Frazier in Pittsfield, Illinois. She graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1936. Immediately after graduation she started working as a secretary the Pike County Abstract Office in Pittsfield.
On October 27, 1944, she was married to Winthrop Bush Anderson, who was a young practicing attorney. At that time, she joined his law office as his legal secretary.
Winthrop and Barbara were blessed with three sons, Ray Winthrop (born August 1, 1948, and who passed away in June of 1976) and William and Robert, twin sons who were born February 22, 1952.
In 1963 Winthrop was elected Circuit Judge in the 8th Judicial Circuit of Illinois and Barbara became his court reporter and continued in that position until Winthrop's death in 1968. From that time until 1973 she was a court reporter for the Judges of the 8th Judicial Circuit of Illinois, travelling to eight counties.
During this time, she became associated with the Illinois Legal Secretary's Association, holding the office of Illinois State President from 1971 to 1973. After that, she was elected as a Director of the National Association of Legal Secretaries and held that office until her marriage to William Perry on September 1, 1973. She then moved with him to Mobile, AL, where he was transferred by his employer, the Pillsbury Company.
In Mobile, she worked for the law firm of attorney Vincent Kilborn. She continued in this position until she and Bill moved to Milwaukee in 1976, again as a transfer by Pillsbury. She then worked for the law firm of Whyte & Hirschboeck in Milwaukee until her retirement in 1985. At that time, Bill retired from Pillsbury and they moved to New Braunfels, TX where they had built a new home.
They had a wonderful life in retirement, making many dear friends in New Braunfels and building another smaller home in 1998, when Bill became ill with cancer. They had only a year together in their new home when Bill passed away on December 29, 1999. Barbara continued to serve as a volunteer for Hope Hospice until 2008. Barbara remained in her home in New Braunfels until declining health necessitated her move to Longhorn Village in west Austin in November 2014. There she resided until her death.
In New Braunfels she was active in the Comal Garden Club, where she served as President and Treasurer; she was also Director of the District VII Texas Garden Clubs, and continued to be active as long as her health allowed. She was Secretary of the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 846 from the time she joined in 1985 until 2008.
Barbara is survived by her son William Anderson and his wife Carol Todzia, her son Robert Anderson and his wife Constance, her stepson William Perry and his wife Linda, her stepson James Perry and his wife Susan, and her brother Carl Frazier of Tucson AZ. She is also survived by ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Edith Frazier, her first husband Winthrop Anderson, her son Ray Anderson, her second husband William Perry, her brothers William Frazier and Frank Frazier, her sisters-in-law Virginia Frazier, Dorothy Frazier and Jean Frazier, all of Tucson AZ, and her stepdaughter Susan Hoon.
There will be a memorial service for Barbara at the Grace Memorial Church, New Braunfels TX, at 1 PM on Saturday, March 11, 2017. All who knew her are welcome.
It is Barbara's wish that any memorials to be made may be given to Hope Hospice of New Braunfels.
