DESLOGE -- Melinda (née Harper) Perry was born to the late Arthur "Chuck" and Ruth Ann "Shirley" Harper June 23, 1963. She loyally served Jesus and others until she was entered into the Lord's eternal presence at midnight January 25, 2019, at the age of 55 years, 7 months, and 2 days.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 28 years, Michael, daughter, Brianna (Mark) Williams of Bonne Terre; and sons, Bradley (Angel) Weir, Ian Perry, and Isaiah Perry of Blue Springs, Missouri. Also surviving are grandchildren, Austin, Kaden, Enola, Savannah, Elisha, Levi, Annalise, Abigail, Magnus, and Zion; siblings, Janice Rider, Debbie (Kenny) Miniex, Nancy (Randy) Waggoner, Charlet Chenoweth; sister-in-law, "Punkin" Harper; Robert Harper, Sharon Harper, and Cheryl (Kenny) Olive.
