Pauline (Pauli) Udall Perkinson, 87, passed away in Mesa, Arizona, on March 23, 2023, surrounded by her 7 children and their spouses.
On May 11, 1935, Pauli was welcomed into this world in Phoenix, Arizona, by her loving parents, Leah Smith and John Hunt Udall, and ten wonderful brothers and sisters. Pauli attended North High School where she loved participating in Student Council. From 1953-1957, she attended Arizona State College (ASU), where she met her true love and future husband, W. Bradford (Brad) Perkinson. She received her bachelor's degree in elementary education and later taught school at Pomona Elementary in California.
Pauli and Brad celebrated their 63rd anniversary just before Brad's passing in July 2021. She greatly missed her sweetheart during the last months of her mortal life.
Pauli was an incredible example of Christlike living. She dearly loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Pauli led many to the Savior through her simple and anonymous acts of kindness. She also served in many Church callings throughout her life, including Relief Society President and full-time missionary with her sweetheart in Washington, D.C.
Pauli's greatest love and desire, however, was to love and serve those who needed her most. She loved to see and spend time with her 7 children, 40 grandchildren, and 86 great grandchildren, all of whom were at the top of her service list.
Pauli is preceded in death by her eternal companion, Brad; her parents and her 5 brothers and 5 sisters. She is survived by her 7 children, John ( Verna), Scott ( Suzy), Lisa Blair (Wendell), Amy Kerr (Todd), David (Suzie), Jenet Knight (Greg), and Julia Williams (Todd); 40 grandchildren; and 86 great grandchildren (with another 4 great grandchildren on the way).
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 30, 2023, at 6-8 pm at the Citrus Heights Stake Center, located at 2549 N. 32nd Street in Mesa, Arizona. Funeral services will be held the following morning on March 31, 2021, at 11 am at the same location after further visitation from 10-10:45 am. Bunker Mortuary will assist the family with arrangements and services, for which the Perkinson Family is very grateful. The family also expresses special thanks to our wonderful friends at Acoya Assisted Living, Hospice of the West, and Advanced Healthcare. Pauli loved to order flowers from Crismons to send for so many of Life's occasions.
