MULLEAVY – Nancy Perry Mulleavy, born June 23, 1925, died July 22, 2008. She was the daughter of longtime Sierra Madre residents Charles Hall and Martha Perry. Nancy married Lt. Col. William Robert Mulleavy
with whom she had four children; Nan, Martha, Perry and Paula. 
Nancy’s grandparents, Charles Hall Perry Sr., and his wife Georgine Bower Perry came to Sierra Madre from Illinois by train in 1907. They
took a buggy up the dirt road which is now Baldwin Avenue. Their
first night was spent at the Shirley Hotel in downtown Sierra Madre, which is still standing. Charles Sr, was elected to the positions of City Clerk, Tax Assessor, and Head of the Water Department. Georgine was the first woman to register to vote in the City of Sierra Madre.
Nancy’s maternal grandparents also came to Sierra Madre in the early 1900′s. Her grandfather, the Right Reverend and Dean William Carson
Shaw was the Rector of the Church of Ascension between 1919 and 1925.
Nancy was active in community affairs, including the Sierra Madre Repertoire Theater Group, the Civic Club, and was a member of the Sierra Madre Beautification and Historical Societies. Nancy is
survived by 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
Many of these five generations grew up, were educated, and are still Sierra Madre residents.
Nancy Perry Mulleavy’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 16, at 10:00 am at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, with a reception following. Internment will take place in the Church’s Memorial Garden viewing her “beloved mountains”, and with her husband of over 50 years, Bill, at riverside National Cemetery.
