Sharon Ann Perkins passed away quietly in her home in
Lee’s Summit MO, January 16, 2023, surrounded by her daughters and
husband. She was born February 9, 1943 to Harold and Ivy Summers, and
was preceded in death by her parents, her two brothers, Bill and Jack,
and her three sisters, Virginia, Lois, and Mary Martha.
Sharon graduated from Saint Anthony’s School of Nursing (Hays,KS)
in 1964 and worked as a registered nurse in various hospitals over the
years. She was an intelligent, cheerful bundle of energy, and her
compassion was only exceeded by her kindness. Sharon was an avid reader
and international traveler, having visited Rome, Athens, Paris and
London, among other destinations. She volunteered her time fostering and
bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, an effort which brought her great joy.
She was a devoted wife and mother and loved her family with all her
heart. She is sorely missed.
A Celebration of Life will take place in her home Saturday,
February 11, from 2:00 to 5:00. As Sharon was an avid animal lover, in
lieu of flowers, donations in her name to local animal shelters would be
most appropriate.
