After a brief illness at home, Maxine Pierron, 104, passed away peacefully with her family by her side. 

A Visitation will be held on Friday, October 11, 2024 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm at Muehlebach Funeral Care, 6800 Troost Ave., Kansas City, MO 64131. Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024 starting at 11:00am (not 11:30 as announced prior) at St. Peter’s Parish, 815 E. Meyer Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64131: and live streamed at https://www.youtube.com/@StPetersKC/streams. 

Awaiting her in Heaven were her beloved husband, Dr. John Pierron; parents Inez Foster (nee Rokram) and Wilfred Lee Pigott; sisters Dorothy (Les) Brooner, Evelyn (Walter) Heintz, Myrtle (Chester) Studt and brother Robert Pigott. Left behind to grieve and to sing, dance, and give thanks for her long life pouring out God’s love to this world are her children Joanne Pierron Sunshower and Peter Pierron (Blanca) KC MO; Mark H. (Deidre) Pierron, Sunnyvale CA; Robert Pierron (Jan), Buena Vista CO; William (Vicki) Pierron, Lenexa KS; and Dr. Paul Pierron, of the home. Also left behind are sister-in-law Pene Pigott, eleven grandchildren and six great grandchildren plus a bunch of wonderful nieces and nephews, friends, godchildren, and neighbors. 

For those who wish to honor Maxine’s memory, you might consider voting in every election, as she did: or share some of her kind ways with others, including “the difficult ones”. In lieu of flowers, a donation could be made to the Veterans Community Project (communities of services and tiny homes for homeless veterans), or a charity that is important to you. 

Special thanks to the home care workers who helped us these past two years, especially during Mom’s sudden decline.
