Lalar Sarah Perkins

Lalar Sarah Perkins, 92 passed away Wednesday, August 12, 2020. She was born February 7, 1928 to Commodore and Ina Wilson in Gholson, Mississippi. Lalar was the seventh child out of ten: Adelade, Colon, Louis, Letha, HR, Olivia, Melissa, Grace and Shane.

Lalar Sarah Wilson married the apple of her eye, Richard Anderson Perkins July 28, 1951, they were married 67 years. Lalar and Richard were able to spend 10 years of quality time together before they welcomed their one and only son, Phillip. Lalar and Richard thanked God for blessing them with Phillip; they were determined to raise him in the fear and admiration of the Lord. Lalar was a dedicated and faithful member of the Sharon SDA Church. Lalar loved working with children, in her early years she worked in ministry as a Sabbath School Teacher in the cradle role division, she was a Hostess and a Church Greeter. Lalar had an extraordinary gift of hospitality, she and Richard loved to host special events and gatherings for friends and family at their home. There was never a shortage of food or good Christian fun and fellowship.

Lalar was small in stature but big in spirit. Once you met her you would not forget her, she had a bit of wittiness about her, she would say things that would make you laugh then there were times she had no filter, she would tell you exactly what was on her mind. Lalar looked forward to her retirement from Omaha Public Schools, it was not so that she could go on lavish shopping excursions or travel and tour the country but, it was so she could spend more time with her grandchildren. The highlight of her day was picking up her grandchildren from school. Lalar was very proud and spoke highly of them; she supported everything her son Phillip, daughter in-law Terri and her three grandchildren; Alesia, Phillip and Branden were involved in. Lalar never forgot a significate date; Birthday, Anniversary, or someone’s Graduation; Lalar was not a big shopper for gift giving but one could always count on opening a card and money falling out.

Lalar had a big heart, God blessed her with the spirit of generosity, she would sacrifice her needs to give to others, she gave from the heart and looked for nothing in return. She believed to whom much is given much is required; she felt it was her duty to bless others as God had blessed her. Lalar was very active until her health begin to gradually decline after the death of her husband Richard on March 21, 2019. It was rare that you would see Lalar without Richard by her side. Lalar missed her soulmate, she talked about how she was looking forward in seeing him again. Lalar was strong in her faith and believed in the Bible Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 -17; For the Lord Himself will

descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

Lalar is preceded in death by her parents Commodore and Ina Wilson and Siblings: Adelade, Colon, Louis, Letha, Grace, Melissa, HR, Olivia, and Shane and her loving husband Richard.

On April 25, 1932, Raymond John Newton was born to Leroy and Josephine Newton.  He had a sister, Dorothy, & a brother, Robert.  Ray grew up in South Omaha.  He was a Cub Scout & took dance lessons which is probably where he gained his appreciation for musical movies.  Ray enjoyed sports.  He was catcher & outfielder for the South High School baseball team who won the city championship in his senior year & he played tight end on the football team.  He bowled in church leagues & played amateur hockey.

Ray graduated from South High School in the Spring of 1950 & began working for a sheet metal company.  He wanted to be an apprentice, but that didn’t seem to be working out.  At the advice of his brother, Robert, Ray applied at & was hired by the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. where Robert also worked.

One fall evening in 1954 at a bowling alley, Ray & Judy renewed their acquaintance & began dating.  Ray & Judy were married on June 11, 1955, at Bethel Lutheran Church.  Ray continued working at Northwestern Bell until he retired in 1986.  After they were married, Ray took a correspondence course for tv repair & did repair work on the side for many years.

Other favorites of Ray were the Saturday pheasant hunting trips with his sons, other family members & friends which often included a stop in Wilbur, NE, for kolaches.  Many trips home from church we were serenaded by the Big Joe Polka Show.  For many years, Ray volunteered his time & talents at Westgate Ball Field: coaching, mowing, repairing, serving on the board & more.
