Mrs Pierson was such a kind woman and I am so grateful I gotten to have three years of being able to go to her class during those sometimes difficult junior high years. I always looked forward to her class, it was a break from all the noise. Mrs Pierson was like going over to grammas to do arts, crafts, and cooking! I´m sure she is already missed by so many, I know I missed her when we went up to high school! RIP to a wonderful lady.

Such a nice lady! So sorry she's gone.
I was lucky enough to have her for Home Ec. during her student teaching semester here @ Danville High School. Our 1st lesson was how to make a bed doing only once around the bed, not multiple times. Wonder how many miles I've saved over the years doing it her way?
Decades later, while helping to plan for our 40th class reunion, I had a very nice phone conversation w/ her, and it didn't last for just a few minutes!
