Sue (Ursula) Perra, Waverly

Sue (Ursula) Perra, age 87, of Waverly passed away Monday, June 4, 2012. Born on December 13, 1924, to Albina and Joseph Antil, she was the oldest of three girls, with five brothers. As a young, single girl she worked at the Maple Lake drug store and waitressed at Ogle’s Café in Waverly. She met Ed Perra of Waverly and they were married on September 25, 1946. Their nearly 66 years of marriage were spent working the Perra family farm and raising a family of six. Sue was a hard worker and took great pride in working the land and tending the dairy herd side-by-side with Ed. She is preceded in death by her parents, brothers: Vic, Jimmy, Art, Jerry and Frank; and daughter, Elaine Luhman. She is survived by devoted spouse, Ed; sons, Tom, Jerry and Frank (Zoila); daughters, Lu Ann (Al) and Mary (Francis); grandchildren: Joe, Mark (Jessica), Sarah, Jessica (Jason); Dylan, Drake, Belle, Fred, Izzy, Jennifer, Dana (Jeff); 12 great-grandchildren; siblings, Bea, Tess and Larry; and special friend of the family, Doug Braden. Sue loved people and took interest in anyone she came in contact with. She enjoyed trips to town, meeting friends at the grocery store, getting together with special girlfriends, impromptu coffee dates, helping neighbors, and was always ready to laugh and have fun. Her energy was endless, her smile was infectious. Most of all, she loved her family and time spent with her children and their families – especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a special wife, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, and a loyal friend. Her passing leaves a void that can only be filled by countless memories of her kindness and generous nature. Visitation was at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Waverly Saturday, June 9th, at 10 a.m. Mass was at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Buffalo Hospital Foundation, Breast Care Fund, 303 Catlin Street, Buffalo, MN 55313.
