Over the years, Pearl and Jack lived in Whitecourt, AB, Minnedosa, MB and Basswood, MB. After Jack passed away in 2000, Pearl moved to the Kin House in Minnedosa, where she remained until her passing. Pearl made many new friends at the Kin House. She liked to take the “girls” shopping, go for lunch or just coffee. She was proud that she could still drive her car and made sure everyone could benefit from it. Pearl’s passions were gardening, baking and family, especially grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had many bountiful gardens and tea was always on at Pearl’s. Of course, no one ever got away with just a cup of tea. The grandchildren always joke “any time is meal time” at Grandma’s. There was always lots to eat and of course lots to take home with you as well.
