Peri Elise Sagun, 13, of Des Moines, Iowa passed away Saturday, May 14, 2016. She was born on June 28, 2002, the radiant blessing of Mustafa and Lisa (Sutton) Sagun. She was the amazing and beautiful best friend and little sister to Eren and an amazing role model and big sister to Devin.
Peri was an 8th grade honor student at St. Augustin Catholic School and was a 2016 Presidential Scholarship recipient. She was often seen on the tennis courts and her USTA Junior Player rankings matched her love of the game. She proudly displayed her trophies and awards throughout her room. The sport of volleyball also held a special place in Peri's heart. She loved playing as a member of the Rider Volleyball Club and was excited about the summer workouts and improving her jump serve.
Peri, which means "fairy" in Turkish, was truly magical and exemplified the meaning of her name in many ways. She was lighthearted, care free, and her glowing personality could light up a room. She dreamed about sunshine, college, and a career as an interior designer. She passionately enjoyed listening to music, especially One Direction, reading, art, nature, family reunions at Disney World, being on a beach or tubing behind a boat in Florida (the more bounce, the better!), experiencing the world, and she will forever and always be remembered laughing with her friends and family. Her bounce up-and-down joy when she was excited (without moving hardly a muscle!) is what will forever make us smile when we think of her, but her energy, smile, and caring for those close to her will be what is most remembered.
Peri was preceded in death by her Grandfathers Dr. Yalcin Sagun and Arland Sutton.
The visitation for Peri will be held on Thursday, May 19 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Iles Dunn's Chapel, Des Moines. Funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Friday, May 20, at St. Augustin Catholic Church 545 42nd Street in Des
Moines.
