Despite many of life’s challenges she maintained a sense of humour, loved a good corny joke, had a compassion for others and gave freely to those in need. She also loved animals, enjoyed gardening, was a great cook and a gifted artist.
In her earlier years she worked in a dress shop and as a telephone operator in Galt, Ontario. She also drove a school bus for Toshmar Bus lines in Ayr, Ontario for many years, to support her children. Pearl was a member of the Clinton Women’s Auxiliary and while living in Duncan BC, the Duncan Women’s Auxiliary.
All whom loved her will never forget her wit, humour, kindness, and tenacity, even to the end.
We want to thank some of the special people that she/we met at Huronview, Connor, Jeffery, Katie, Marilyn, Shannon, Reuben, Bridjit, and the many others we did not get to meet due to Covid restrictions.
There will be no funeral service at Pearl’s request.
