Perlt, Louise M. "Dodie" nee Swan of Indianapolis (formerly of Woodbury, MN). Born April 5, 1933, died May 10, 2025.
It was inevitable - I would end this leg of my journey and start into the unknown, perhaps to be reunited with my Dad and Mom (George and Marie Swan), my siblings (George, Edmee, Adele and Yvette, my unforgettable husband Wally, and my much-loved son Paul and his daughter, Alexis. Or - are they on their own new journeys by reincarnation? (Oh please, what do we lose by thinking this is possible?)
Regretfully, I leave behind my caring and loving daughter Lisa Farley and her husband Steve and my two beautiful granddaughters Hannah Farley Mewhort (Jack) and Sarah Farley (Duvante Lane), my brother Peter Swan, and a wonderful supportive cast of nephews and nieces. I have also been blessed with friendships that have grown and lasted over 50 years: these were the rocks I clung to when the days were stormy and frightening. New friendships along the way gave me great joy. Deep gratitude to the whole staff at Allisonville Meadows Assisted Living, and to Kara and Daneen with Anew Hospice. Thanks to all - you gave me a wonderful life.
Memorial Service Thursday June 26 at 12noon at the O'Halloran Murphy Chapel, 8700 Valley Creek Road, Woodbury. Interment will be at 9:45 at Ft. Snelling National Cemtery.
Service are pending.
