Mother and Daughter
Hannah Perkins ‘40
Jody in her senior year.
Hannah Mallory Perkins ‘40, was more than a woman of grace and purpose—she was a teacher, a mentor, and a guiding light to countless students whose lives she touched with her wisdom and warmth. Hannah was a cornerstone of their St. Margaret’s journey to the alumnae who sat under her steady gaze and felt her encouragement like a steady wind beneath their wings. Jody Lewis ‘66, her daughter and fellow guardian of the school’s spirit, was not only a gifted teacher but a dear friend to so many. Her laughter echoed through the halls, her compassion lifted hearts, and her devotion to her students inspired courage and curiosity in equal measure. Together, these two women were pillars of St. Margaret’s, shaping its soul and nurturing its community with love and care.
