UTLA is sad to announce the passing of Ms. Harriet Perl.
Ms. Perl was one of the founders of UTLA and worked as UTLA’s proofreader. She was a dedicated English teacher at Hamilton High School and a fiercely respected community leader. She passed peacefully at 8:45am this morning. She lived to be 92 years old, with a dazzling legacy. Tune in to NBC tomorrow and watch Ellen, as Ellen DeGeneres will briefly recognize Ms. Perl’s life and passing.
There will be a complete Memorial Service at Beth Chayim Chadashim on Sunday, March 24th, at 10:30am. Read more at the BCC website.
