Services will be at 2 PM Friday at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Lexington with the Rev Don Buhrman officiating. Burial will be at the Robb Cemetery south of Lexington.
She was born March 14, 1906, near Overton to Charles and Frances (Cooney) Saulsbury. She lived in the Overton and Lexington area all her life.
On Dec 30 1950 she married Bill Gillespie in Cheyenne WY.
She enjoyed cooking and traveling. "
Fan and Lew Perkins had two children:
Darlene Lou Perkins born 1924 died 2000
Charles Perkins born 1928 died 2006
Aunt Fan was a wonderful person. There were many stories about her. She liked to say she was old enough "to eat hay and pull a wagon"! I remember visiting with her when she was over 90. She was telling me many stories and stopped to sing a song that her mother used to sing to her. Fan stopped to wipe her eyes saying how much she missed her mother.
My mother used to say Fan loved to get married....she married Lew Perkins(1924) out of the church, then in the church. Then she married Bill out of the church and in the church. Fan got married 4 times but there were only 2 husbands.
Fan and Bill lived on a farm southeast of Lexington, NE.
Lew Perkins died in 1931.
Aunt Fan's greatest wish was to live one year longer than her mother-in-law Susie. Well Aunt Fan almost made it, Susie Maxfeldt (Bill's mother) died 21 March 2002 (Susie was 107 when she died). Aunt Fan used to have to come to the family dinners alone because Bill would go and visit his mother every Sunday. Aunt Fan was 96 when her mother-in-law died!
