Patsy Pearson Obituary
During her 60-year career she was employed in Arizona by the law firm of Moore, Vlahovich and Greenwood, the State of Arizona and the Department of Defense at Ft. Huachuca. After moving to Alaska with her husband Roger in 1979 she was employed by HUD, VA, and FAA in Anchorage. After her husband Roger's death in 1988, Patsy retired from the FAA and moved to Arizona to become a "playgirl". Desperately bored after 2 years she returned to Anchorage and was reemployed by BLM in the Minerals and Land Conveyance Programs where she finally retired in 2017 at the age of 82 having served in the federal government for over 47 years. She had an unmatched work ethic and earned many awards during her career. Patsy had a wonderfully fun side; she loved her beaded gowns and her bling. She was always elegant and beautiful when she went ballroom dancing. Patsy could light up the dance floor. She was known for her honesty, clever wit, intellect and analytical mind. Her joy for life was contagious and all that knew her loved her. She was a wise, loving and caring woman and will be missed by many.
Patsy was predeceased by her parents, Woodrow and Helen Loper, brothers Howard, Raymond and Wayne Loper, husbands James Royer and Roger Pearson and son, Steven Royer. Survivors include her son, Ron Royer of Anchorage, grandson Quintin Royer of Texas, several nieces and nephews in the Lower 48 and special extended Alaska family Patricia LaFramboise, Jayme Carr, Barbara Yoppke, Dani Jackson, Dustin Strickland and Matthew and Laverna Simons of Anchorage.
Funeral arrangements are made with Janssen Funeral Homes.

Love and miss you Mom. Sometimes its unbearable (tearful sigh). I owe all that is good in me to you. Your intellect was astonishing. You instilled honesty, perseverance, creativity, and an unending intellectual curiosity about the world in me. Few people know that you experienced what would have been for anyone else brutally crushing tragedies during your life. During one of our many discussions, I finally asked you how you managed to not give up like most people would have. Your reply was immediate and succinct, and I will never forget your words: "You pull yourself together, you get over it, and you move on." My only response was: "I wish you would have told me that sooner!!" Hugs and kisses. BR

I am saddened to read of Patsy passing. She was a Loving Mother and Friend of mine. I grew up in Sierra Vista with Steven and Ron. I was fortunate that I got know, Respect and Love Patsy. She always words of wit and was never hesitant to let me know the foolish thing(s) I was doing or talking. I have always had a Special place in my Heart for her as well as for Steven and Ron. Rest in Peace Patsy. You were Loved and Appreciated.
