Marilyn Joyce Perkins

Marilyn Joyce Perkins, 82 of Bardstown passed away Monday, September 7, 2021, at Flaget Memorial Hospital with her husband by her side.
Joyce was a Baptist by faith and a member at Clermont Baptist Church. She was a homemaker, devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great- great-grandmother. She will be remembered as a good listener, friendly and approachable; she never met a stranger, just a friend she hadn’t spoken to yet. Joyce was a wonderful cook, her visitors always left with a full belly and a plate for later. She enjoyed her morning coffee, watching hummingbirds dance about in flight, and getting cozy to watch Hallmark Christmas Movies. She loved her boys, family meant everything to Joyce, she always put the needs of others before herself. She was the matriarch of the family; she is irreplaceable and will be dearly missed.
Joyce is preceded in death by her parents Louis Thompson and Mattie Anderson Thompson; siblings Gloria Dean Thompson and Wanda Beshear; and daughter-in-law Betty Perkins.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband Kenneth Perkins; children, Eugene Perkins of Shepherdsville and Debra Ellenburg (Rick) of Clermont; grandchildren Anthony Eugene Perkins (Patty), Christopher Louis Perkins (Tera), Clifton Dale Perkins (Nicole), Dennis Ray Coyle Jr. (Heather), Bruce Dewayne Coyle, and Amanda Coy (Scott); great- grandchildren Melissa Gayle, Chelsey Nicole (Dustin), Eli Scott, Zachary Louis Perkins, Drew Michael Perkins, Dallas Perkins, Tyler Perkins, Alyssa Coyle, Mariah Moore and Jaylen Moore; great-great-grandchildren Alaina Rose, Weston Scott, Grace and Ava.
