Mary Perry: Strength in the Shadows — A Judge’s Journey Through Pain, Service, and Unbreakable Faith! Some judges rule from the bench — and then some judges rule from the heart. Judge Mary Perry, of the Clark County Family Division, has never been the kind of jurist who hides behind her robe. She brings her compassion, her discipline, and her lived experience into every courtroom she steps into. But few truly understand what she has survived — the kind of battles that would have brought most people to their knees. This is her story — raw, painful, triumphant, patriotic, and deeply human. A Veteran Who Served Her Country Before She Ever Served the Court Before Mary Perry ever presided over a single case… Before she ever wore the black robe… She wore a uniform. Judge Perry is an honorable United States military veteran, one of only a small handful of veterans to ever serve on the bench in the entire state of Nevada. Her military career shaped her: ✔ Her discipline ✔ Her sense of duty ✔ Her courage under pressure ✔ Her ability to lead with strength and humility Judge Perry’s lifelong commitment to service didn’t begin in a courtroom — it began defending her country. And when her military service ended, her service to the community continued in a different uniform: the judicial robe. To this day, she carries the values instilled in her by the Armed Forces: Honor. Integrity. Accountability. Courage. Compassion. A Battle for Her Life While Campaigning to Serve Others What the public didn’t see was the storm she was living through. In the midst of campaigning, life struck her with a series of crushing blows. First, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She endured a double mastectomy — a physical and emotional trauma that would break the strongest of hearts. Hormone Imbalance, Medication Struggles, and the Truth About Her Voice Recovery isn’t simple. The medications she depended on to survive created a severe hormonal imbalance — disrupting her sleep, clarity, emotions, and physical strength. There was another challenge that few knew about: her hearing was deteriorating — she needed hearing aids. She couldn’t hear well, so her voice would naturally grow louder. People heard volume. They didn’t see the medical condition behind it. Then, to add to an already challenging and emotional situation, Judge Perry lost her sister to cancer. Two months later, she lost her father — her most significant source of strength. Through all this tragedy, Judge Perry persevered. TODAY ✔ Her medication is stabilized. ✔ Her hormones are balanced. ✔ She is working through the VA to improve her hearing. ✔ Her clarity and equilibrium are restored. She is stronger than ever. A Judge Who Believes Children Deserve Both Parents What sets Judge Perry apart is her unwavering belief that children need both of their parents. She is often called the most preemptive and forward-thinking judge on the Family Court bench because she consistently supports: ✔ Joint legal custody ✔ Joint physical custody ✔ Equal involvement from both parents Unless there is danger or extraordinary circumstances, she refuses to punish a child by removing a loving parent from their life. Her philosophy is simple, powerful, and child-centered: “Families may break up — but children should not.” This approach has earned her respect across the legal community. A Judge Who Was Hurting — But Never Stopped Helping Others Judge Perry could have stepped away. She could have focused solely on her health. She could have taken time to heal physically and emotionally — but she didn’t. Even when she was grieving… Even when her body was recovering from cancer… Even when her medications shook her balance… Even when she could barely hear her own voice… She kept coming to court. She kept serving families. She kept fighting for the children of Clark County. This is not a weakness. This is strength — veteran strength. This is resilience learned from the battlefield and carried into the courtroom. A Servant Leader Worth Fighting For Today, Judge Mary Perry stands not only as a survivor but as a symbol of perseverance, courage, and compassion. She represents what a Family Court judge should be: ✔ Human ✔ Fair ✔ Balanced ✔ Empathetic ✔ Grounded in service ✔ Devoted to children ✔ Forged by military discipline She is more than her scars. More than her illnesses. More than the whispers or misunderstandings. She is the only veteran in the Clark County Family Court. A woman who served her country… A judge who fought cancer… A daughter and sister who survived heartbreaking loss… A public servant who still showed up for her community when the world expected her to fall. Her story deserves to be told. Her courage deserves to be acknowledged. Her service — both military and judicial — deserves deep respect. Because sometimes the strongest people in the room are the ones who fought battles no one ever saw.
