Jay'ne Diane Perkins

Jay’ne Diane Perkins, age 72, of Georgetown, KY and formerly of Owenton, KY passed away October 16, 2026. Born March 15, 1954. She was the daughter of the late Charles Burns and Martha (Hardebeck) Burns. 

Jay’ne was known for her love of life and bright personality giving hugs to everyone around her. Those hugs will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but especially her husband of nearly 55 years Donnie R. Perkins. Her Children: Lonnie (Gracie) Perkins and Jamie (Jesse) Osborne. Her treasured Sister: Sherry (Jim) Allen and Brother Ricky (Dana) Burns. Her Grandchildren: Madison, Hollyn, Landon and Nolan. Her lifelong friend Marlene (Sissy) and her beloved friend Dee. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews who cherished her as well as many dear friends. She was preceded in death by her cherished brother Terry Burns. 

Jay’ne was truly in her element with a line in the water and a fishing rod in her hand. She also found joy tending her irises and sharing plants with others. Jayn’e was a passionate bargain hunter who took great pride in finding the best deals whether at a garage sale, thrift store, or local market.

In her later year, she developed a passion for crafting Christmas ornaments giving to family and friends. She would take these ornaments to the Markey Cancer Center as an expression of appreciation for their treatment and care. That care brought comfort to not only Jay’ne but also her family.

Jay’ne’s trust and faith in Jesus Christ was unwaivering. She found a quiet ease in knowing that her pain had an expiration date and that a joyful reunion awaited her in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8
