Pearl was born on August 19, 1899, at the family farm in Graysville, MB. On March 22, 1922, she married Thomas Henry Brown, and together they farmed in the Stephenfield area until 1964. They then moved to Eriksdale, MB, where they purchased the Art and Lucy Lindell farm. Although she was predeceased by her husband, Henry, in 1983, she continued to live on the farm until July of 1999. Due to the decline in her health, she moved to the Eriksdale Personal Care Home. Pearl enjoyed the flowers she grew and tending to her garden. She especially loved to cook and relished in the company of friends and family. Pearl enjoyed playing cribbage and bingo. She was a member of the United Church and volunteered her time to the U.C.W. Pearl leaves to mourn her son John (Kathleen) of Eriksdale, daughter Minnie (Garth) of Winnipeg.
