Marina was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area to Russian immigrant parents. She attended University of Pacific college and married Mike Perkins. Together they lived in Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Southern California before making Utah their home for the past 50 years.
She enjoyed camping, skiing, biking, golf, tennis, scuba diving, playing cards and spending time with her beloved dogs. She lived a very full life filled with travel and surrounded by friends and family. She loved children and animals. Her friends will remember her as generous, feisty, and determined.
Mike preceded her in death, but now they are back together again.
She is survived by her children Michelle Perkins (Jo Forcade) and Monique Helsen (Steim Helsen) and grandchildren Nicolas Forcade-Perkins and Alex Forcade-Perkins.
