FARMINGTON — Anna Victoria Childs Perocki, 88, of Temple, died Monday, Sept. 21, at Franklin Memorial Hospital, where she had been a patient since Saturday, Sept. 19.

She was born on July 14, 1921, in Phillips, the youngest child of Clyde and Signe (Anderson) Childs. On June 30, 1962, she married Michael J. Perocki in Farmington. For many years, she worked in Farmington at Currier Insurance, formerly Dick Bell’s Insurance Agency.

At the time of her death, she lived in Temple in the home she and Michael purchased nearly 45 years ago. Tori, as she was known, loved animals and cherished her family, as they did her. She always saw the humor in life, and was quick to share a laugh. In her later years, she enjoyed her cats, visiting with family and friends and sharing a meal and doing one of her many jigsaw puzzles.

Survivors include her niece, Kristine and her husband, Roger Spear, of Farmington and Bonita Springs, Fla., and their children, Ashli, Jamie and Michael; nephew, David Shea and his wife, Beth, of Auburn and their children, Christopher, Ryan, Jennifer and Sarah; Gregory Shea and his wife, Susan Wygal, and Greg’s children, Beth and Michael; and nephew, Michael Jones of California.

She was predeceased by her parents, Clyde and Signe Childs; husband, Michael Perocki; a sister, Rachael Shea; and a brother, Richard Childs.
