Mary Perrin

Mary F. Perrin, nee, O’Donnell, born in E. St. Louis, IL, passed away Friday, October 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, MO.

Mary was a lifelong supporter of the Girl Scouts. She cherished her time as a Brownie and Girl Scout leader, guiding and inspiring countless young girls through her example of service, friendship, and compassion.
