Stella Mary Perrott

Stella Perrott passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at Bethany Care Centre in Calgary, AB, just a few weeks shy of her 92 birthday. She is survived and lovingly remembered by her children, Raymond, Carol and Dave and their respective spouses, Mary, Thomas (Bassie) and Nanette, nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Stella was born in Dublin Ireland on July 25, 1925, the only child of Charles and Caroline Cant. She married her life partner, William Richard (Bill) Perrott, on September 28, 1947 and they immigrated to Canada with their young family in 1957, settling in Calgary to be near the mountains, which they both loved. Stella was a founding member of the Pet Access League Society (PALS), an organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of individuals through pet therapy, and volunteered as a team leader for over 25 years. She was predeceased by her parents and her husband. Stella is memorialized in the hearts of those who love her for her tender, nurturing and selfless love; her devotion to her family, whom she cherished; her compassion for and service to others; and her love for and kindness to animals. The family would like to thank the staff at Bethany Care Centre for their dedication and compassion in caring for Stella as a resident of the facility from 2010 to the time of her passing.
