Zulema D. Perrin, a woman whose life spanned ninety-one years and crossed oceans, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026. Born in Marchand Dessalines, Haiti, in 1934 to the late Tinette Dieujuste and Duval, she brought the vibrant strength of her homeland to Massachusetts in the 1960s. A proud homeowner and landlord in Dorchester for forty years before retiring to Randolph, she was a woman who didn't just plant roots—she made them flourish.

Throughout her life, Zulema’s work was defined by her heart for others. She thrived in her career as a dietary aide for many years before transitioning to her most cherished role as a stay-at-home mother. In that season of life, she became a sanctuary for her family, nurturing countless relatives with the same devotion she gave to her own home. Her kitchen was a place of deep love, where she poured her soul into cooking for those she held dear, and her profound love for Christ served as the steady foundation of grace that guided her every day.

Though she now joins her parents and her husband, Ebel Jean Perrin, her legacy of resilience lives on through her daughter, Mary Perrin-Eaglin, son-in-law, Jonathan Eaglin, and granddaughters, Rayna Adamson and Joya Zulema Eaglin. To the countless relatives and friends who loved her, Zulema was a bridge between generations and the living heart of a life well-lived.
