 Esther Louise Perry, 81, of Ona, WV, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 18, 2021. 2 Corinthians 5:8 provides Christians assurance that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Keith Perry; four brothers, Herschel, Melvin, Bud, and Harless Bates, and two sisters, Wilma Holley and Iva Shaffer. She is survived by one son, Ryan Perry (Mandy), one daughter Vickie Courts (Anthony); four grandchildren, Amber Chapman (Jack), Tyler Courts (Heather), and Jace and Isaiah Perry; six great grandchildren, Isabella, Jaxon, and Kruze Chapman, and Easton, Cullen, and Sutton Courts; two brothers, Cecil and Ronnie Bates, and three sisters, Garnet Blake, Carolyn Murphy, and Sue Hensley. Esther loved her church family at Antioch Baptist Church in Ona, W.Va., where she was active in many ways.

Esther was a treasure for our church and for all those who had the pleasure of spending time with her and Keith. We will miss her gentle spirit, but rejoice in that she is with the Lord.
