Diane Pearson Obituary

PEARSON, Diane C., 77, of Chesterfield, Va., escaped Alzheimer's on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. She is survived by her son, Christopher (Michelle) Pearson; granddaughters, Pauline Spencer, Nora Pearson; grandson, Atticus Pearson; and brother, Larry (Linda) Caskey. Diane was a lively, free soul and loved being with people. She apparently had little regard for public embarrassment and the fun she had was infectious. She never met a stranger and loved her family, friends and co-workers…and dogs; probably dogs more than them. She is so thankful for being done with this sucky Alzheimer's crap and apologizes for all the fights she started in the memory unit - she still doesn't believe it was her. She wanted to tell you to make sure that you vote, treat people like you've known them forever and don't be douchey. She will be missed, but has left quite a legacy she was never sure or aware of. Family will receive casually dressed friends for a time of gathering on Sunday, April 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Morrissett Funeral and Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd., N. Chesterfield, Va. 23234. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in her name to Miko's Sancutary, mikossanctuary.org/our-mission.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Diane was a dear lady, a character and a lot of fun. She fostered a dog for us at Richmond Animal League and helped us at our weekly adoption event at PetSmart. Her love of dogs was quite evident.
