Through every minute, she lived, loved and worked with all her might. Not much for dull moments, Maurine was the life of every occasion that was blessed with her presence. To have met her but once was to never forget her. She touched and affected the lives of so many, and added to her legion of friends up until her very last day. This life will be much less exciting without her, but her memory will take her place. Maurine was born July 23, 1917, in Gainesville, Texas, the daughter of Arch Perryman and Nora (Rasure) Perryman. She attended South Rock Creek School and graduated from Shawnee High School. Before retiring in 1980, she owned and operated Shawnee Ready Mix Concrete Co. She was preceded in death by her parents Arch and Nora Perryman, her son Bobby Ray Pease and two brothers Doug and Floyd Perryman. Maurine is survived by her daughter, Shirley Eyler of Purcell; four grandchildren, Brandi Mikish and husband Jay of Harrah, and their daughter Anna, Brock C. Bowers and wife Candice of Oklahoma City, and their daughter Abbey C., and son Hardy, Rhett Pease and Crae Pease of Texas; one sister Dolores O'Toole of Grand Junction, Colorado and one brother Bill Perryman of Prague; plus several nieces and nephews. Memorial services will be held 2:00 P.M., Friday, August 2, 2002, at the Kelley Memorial Chapel, under the direction of Hunn, Black & Merritt Funeral Home, Eufaula. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Pottawatomie County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/pottawatomie/pottawatomie.htm
