Mary was born to Mike and Mae (Gallagher) Cummings, both from Ireland. Mary was born and raised in KAnsas City Missouri. She married the love of her life, Arkie in July of 1955. Together the pair had 5 children, Kathy, Carol, Jim, Brian and Kristina.
The door to the Perry house was always open to friends, family, and even a stranger or two. You could not come through that door without Mary trying to feed you and see how your day is. She was an excellent cook and anyone who ate a meal there always wanted to come back for another meal.
She is preceded in death by her parents Mike and Mae Cummings; husband Freddie "Arkie" Perry; sons James and Brian Perry; daughter Kathleen Smith and grandson, Ronan Bundy.
She is survived by daughters Carol (Chris) Hawkins, Kristina (Steve) Bundy; grandchildren Micah, Kegan, Emma, Elam, Caleb, Joshua and a very special cousin Gina Provenzo- Bye.
