Perin Lynn Barker, 63, of Boise, Idaho, passed away on April 24, 2025. Born on September 22, 1961, in Biloxi, Mississippi, she lived a bold, faithful, and fiercely independent life. A former fire service member in her youth, Perin devoted her heart to her family, especially her beloved nephews John, Josh, and Justin Martin, and Nathan and Trystan Rousseau. She was known for her sharp wit, unmatched attention to detail, love of cars, her faithful companions Dudders and Ginger, and her unwavering love for God.
Perin is survived by her sisters, Marla Jean Martin and Roberta June Rousseau, and her nephews whom she loved as her own. A viewing will be held Thursday, May 1, 2025, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at Bowman Funeral Home, Garden City, ID, immediately followed by burial at Dry Creek Cemetery. Flowers may be sent to Bowman Funeral Home by 9:00 a.m. on May 1.
Though our hearts grieve, we rejoice knowing Perin is home with the Lord she loved so dearly. Her faith, strength, and laughter will live on in all of us.
