Pearl loved her home, church, and her community.  But her family was most important of all and she delighted in seeing the children as they came along.  Anyone who entered her home was always welcomed and left feeling doubly blessed-they had good company and a full belly!  She always worked hard and was very active in community organizations.  She was a gentle soul, kind and compassionate and was quick to help whenever she was needed.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret that there can be no church service or public burial as we would have liked.  However, please be assured that the family is grateful for all those who knew and loved her because we know that you will keep warm memories of her within your hearts forever.

Donations in Pearl’s memory may be made to St. John the Baptist Church, Chapel Arm, in care of Don Gosse
