Pearl had a heart for the youth and loved spending time with them and sharing her faith. She dedicated her life to raising her children and teaching them Godly ways, and carried that tradition on by example and by sharing that with everyone she met.

She loved the Lord and was passionate about her faith. She always took up for the person who wasn’t there and always said “Pray about it”. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her.
