Julia Pearl Persson

Julia Pearl Persson, 93, widow of Paul Gustav Persson, passed away peacefully June 11, 2019. She is survived by five children, six grand-children, and eight great grandchildren. Julia will be remembered as someone who viewed the world through the eyes of an artist. She was an accomplished seamstress, a devotee of music, she was a collector of things and dealt in the currency of information and knowledge. She was an instiller of effective communication skills, ardent admirer of the marvels of life and respectful of all of its forms. She was adamant, passionate and patient about the process of repairing things rather than temporary fixes. Julia always walked her own path and labored for her dignity to the end. The family extends thanks for the compassionate care of those supporting her final years. Julia would prefer any remembrance be expressed in donations to her favorite charities of Crossroads Hospice, the Missouri Veteran's Home in Warrensburg, MO, or someone in need in your lives. A graveside services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, June 14, 2019 at the Orient Cemetery in Harrisonville, MO. (Arrangements: Speaks Suburban Chapel (816) 373-3600)
