Richfield Springs, N.Y. —
Donna Darlene Barrett, age 66, of County Highway No. 24, passed away on Monday evening, March 18, 2013, in Bassett Medical Center, Cooperstown.
She was born on Oct. 13, 1946, in Ilion, daughter of the late Ellery and Mary Martin Perkett.
A lifelong area resident, she was raised in Ilion and was a graduate of Ilion High School. For forty-two years, she had shared a loving and devoted marriage with Leo E. Barrett.
For many years, Mrs. Barrett was employed by the Canajoharie Knitting Mills that were located in Richfield Springs. She retired in 2006.
Donna had a strong belief in God and was a member of Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Richfield Springs.
To all who knew her, she will always be remembered as a happy go lucky lady who loved to cook, listen to music and go hunting. To her many friends and family, she will be greatly missed.
Along with her husband, Leo, she is survived by a son, William Barrett, of Richfield Springs; two brothers, Reuben Perkett and his wife, Barbara, of Schenectady, and Robert Perkett, of Melbourne, Fla.; two sisters, Betty Dubay, of Williamson, and Dawn Broadbent, of Dolgeville; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by four brothers, Vincent, Gary (Rendell), Richard, Rodney and Randy Perkett, and three sisters, Dianne Snyder, Gloria Perry and Bertha Ellen O'Connell.
A graveside funeral service for Mrs. Barrett will take place later this spring in Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Richfield Springs.
Expressions of sympathy may be made with memorial donations to the American Lung Association of Mid New York, 311 Turner St., Suite 415, Utica, NY 13501.
Funeral arrangements are with J. Seaton McGrath Funeral Home, Richfield Springs.
