r she lived. Numerous guests included local folks and dignitaries, archeologists, artists, Congressmen and a US Supreme Court Justice. Throughout her life, Perk remained in touch with a legion of devoted friends from many countries. When Lee retired in 1973, the couple returned to the US to make their home in Post Lake near Lee's parents. Always an activist, Perk became involved in school and health issues and was instrumental in establishing Elcho's Aspirus Health Clinic. She was a keen supporter of the Post Lake Improvement Association, a member of education, historical, environmental, and political groups and remained a passionate supporter of national and international social justice and peace efforts. Her commitment to nonviolence, human rights, and equality was a model to her children, grandchildren and others, who have expressed eloquent appreciation of her in a flood of letters. Perk is survived by her husband, Lee Dinsmore, daughters Janet (FT Clark) and Sally Dinsmore, grandchildren Scott Alwin (Yvette Shields), Sam Lohr (Debby Lohr), Lee Lohr, Sarah Shoenfeld (Steve Longenecker), Kirsten Lohr (Jeff Hillick), Nicholas Charlesworth, and great grandchildren Ruthie and Ammon Longenecker, Celia and Ian Lohr, Wesley Alwin, Kaelyn and Grant Hillick, and nieces Nancy Carter and Wendy Cox. The family will hold a memorial service at a later date in Elcho, Wisconsin. A notice will be posted in the Antigo Journal regarding the service's time and place. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to Antigo Community Food Pantry, PO Box 194, Antigo, WI 54409.
