Everyone knows Pearl's greatest passion in life was music. She loved entertaining. Pearl grew up in a family where music was part of every holiday. “Singing seems to help a troubled soul," as she sang many times. Over the years, Pearl played for church services, funerals, weddings, banquets and parties. She would play at any venue she was requested. Another passion of Pearls was sports. She loved her Mariners and Seattle Seahawks! Several of her fondest memories were of games she attended with friends and family. Pearl's family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Providence Home Health and Hospice for the caring and compassionate care that Pearl received. Their support and guidance were greatly appreciated. Pearl was blessed to be cared for in the comfort of her own home by family.
Pearl's faith was apparent to anyone who met her. She loved our Lord. She loved her church family, sharing her love of God with others, and placed all her faith and trust in God. She lived her life with love, compassion and faith.
