Obituary for Ollie E. Perry Ollie E. Perry, 87, of Beloit, WI, surrounded by family, peacefully slipped into eternity on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at Agrace Center for Hospice & Palliative Care, Janesville, WI.

She married Robert Perry on July 3, 1982 in Rockton, IL. He predeceased her on June 2, 2009. Her former husband, Melvin E. Moore, predeceased her on April 27, 2004.
Ollie submitted her life to the Lord Jesus Christ at an early age, and eagerly responded to the call of God, passionately preaching the gospel message as a minister for 27 years as an officer in the Salvation Army. She enjoyed leading all facets of the Women’s and Young Girls ministries. After her career in the Salvation Army, Ollie became a member of Cornerstone Church of God where she was a Sunday School teacher for many years.
One thing that remained constant in her life was her deep passion for expressing her love for her Savior through the gift of singing and playing piano… God-given talents that ministered to many through the years.
