Perley Calvin Court

Perley C. Court, 60 of North Berwick passed away peacefully at Southern Maine Healthcare in Biddeford. 

He was born September 23, 1964 in Rochester, NH, the son of John and May (Roberts) Court.  Perley was intellectually disabled but his heart thought otherwise.  He was raised in North Berwick where he loved riding his bike, coloring and collecting over 200 stuffed animals.  After his mother became ill, he walked to town to spend the day with his mom at Varney Crossing Nursing Home.  After her death, he volunteered at Another Chance Animal Rescue Thrift store.  He loved his Dunkin coffee and donuts and Cumberland Farms Hot Dogs and pizza.  On his walks home, Perley was often picked up by different towns folk who knew him and gave him a ride “up the hill”. 

Perley was a loving, humble soul and happy natured.  His brother, Craig, picked him up on the weekends for adventures when Perley was happy to do whatever the day had in store. Perley especially loved family time with his brother, niece and their family.  He never asked for anything and enjoyed every single day.  Nothing made him happier than those days and a good trip to the Dollar General to pick up his snacks. 

Perley was predeceased by his parents and brothers, Dennis, Gerald and Bobby Court.  Surviving are his brothers, Craig Court of North Berwick and Tracy Court of Milton, NH; niece Lisa Goodrich who was like a big brother to her and her family of Somersworth, NH.  Perley also had many other nieces and nephews.

A time of visitation will be held Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 4pm to 5pm followed by a funeral at 5pm at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick, ME.  Spring interment in Hillside Cemetery, North Berwick, ME.  Friends who wish may contribute to Another Chance Animal Rescue, P.O.
