Pernilla was born February 6, 1965 in Orsa, Sweden to Inga and Ingemar Jugås.
Pernilla’s story is extraordinary, although she grew up in a small Swedish town, she was destined for so much more. At a young age, Pernilla fell in love with equestrian show jumping, competitive cross country skiing and developed a knack for florals as her parents owned the local flower boutique. Being the competitive woman that she was and never holding back, she decided to pursue a career in show jumping that brought her to the United States as a young teenager.
The success of her jumping took her from coast to coast but ultimately, Orsa called her back and she went into the family floral business. From florals to fluid communication, Pernilla became a translator for the oil and gas industry, cultivating communication between the Swedes and Americans.
It was through translating that she met the love of her life, Larry Nobles, they married in 1988 in Orsa and shortly moved to Oklahoma to begin their lives together. Once settled in Oklahoma, Pernilla and Larry were gifted with two beautiful sons, Scott and Sean. An incredible mother, Pernilla was a cheerleader for her excelling sons, whether it was on the baseball field, at hockey rinks or in the classroom.
In 2012, Pernilla became the head florist of Whole Foods Market in Oklahoma City and from here, her passion flourished giving the community an outlet to enjoy her stunning creations. In addition to being a caring wife, mother and talented florist, Pernilla had a zest for life. She enjoyed life to the fullest whether she was cooking, cheering on OU football games, or enjoying fuzzy beers at the local mexican joint, Chelinos. She was known for her contagious smile and always had a way of making others feel like the most important in the room, always putting others before herself.
Pernilla was dearly loved by many and will be greatly missed. Pernilla is preceded in death by her late husband Larry Nobles. She is survived by her two sons, Sean and Scott, her brother, Per Jonas, and both her parents Inga and Ingemar Jugås of Orsa, Sweden.
A celebration of life will be held on her birthday February 6, 2021. Details will be provided to friends and family.
