Mrs. Jennie Perkovich, 68, of Glidden, mother of Mrs. Donald "Butch" Ingersoll of Abbotsford, was fatally injured about 7:30 p.m. Saturday when she was struck by a car while standing in her back yard. A car driven by William Michel crashed through a nearby fence and pinned her against the building, causing severe leg and pelvic injuries.

She was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, Ashland, where she died a few hours later.

Besides her daughter in Abbotsford, she is survived by her husband, Mark; three other daughters, Mrs. Roy Galbec, Minneapolis, Mrs. Knut Dalseth, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Mrs. Robert Bay, Glidden; and a son, Gerald, Chippewa Falls.
