Charity Lynn Perry was found deceased on April 24 near Ainsworth State Park in Multnomah County.

Members of her family spoke with KATU News, saying they want Perry to be remembered for her kindness and to raise awareness for the mental health challenges she faced before she died.

"She always had a smile that could light up the world," said Diana Allen, Perry's mother.

"She was an amazing person," said Star Carr, Perry's cousin.

Perry’s death remains under investigation by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.

"This year, Charity suffered from extreme mental health issues with the most impacting one, it being schizophrenia," said Allen.

Portland Police said on Sunday, June 4, that Perry’s death, along with the deaths of five other women in the region are not connected, saying any reports linking them together are just “speculation,” and PPB “has no reason to believe these 6 cases are connected.”

Deputies say Perry was known to frequent downtown Portland around the area of Southwest Washington and 4th Avenue at the beginning of March.
