A Fayette County Public School system bus monitor was killed in a car accident Saturday morning, her older sister Amanda Edwards confirmed.
Mary Perry, a member of the district’s transportation department and mother of two was killed in a crash that occurred in Grant County and involved three vehicles. She leaves behind twin 8-year-old boys.
Perry’s sister, Edwards, said her sister was someone who loved her friends, family and two sons dearly.
“I want people to know how good of a person she was,” Edwards said. “There was no one that didn’t love her. The boys were the light of her life.”
Edwards said her sister had worked as a bus monitor since November 2023.
“The superintendent and FCPS family was made aware of the tragic loss of Ms. Perry,” district spokesperson Dia Davidson said in a Sunday text message. “We ask that all respect the privacy of the family at this time.”
In addition to spending time with family, Perry loved to cook and was incredibly generous to those who were struggling. Edwards said Perry’s death comes just four months after the death of their older sister, who passed away from health issues.
