Aunt Pearl: You were always a special aunt to me. I loved how you took care of everyone around you (especially my mother)before yourself. I won’t forget the Uno games and how competitive you were! Rest In Peace – will miss you.
Since Pearl resided at the Wilson Center, several of the ladies and myself from John Knox Presbyterian Church, would meet at the gathering area and bring Bill Gray’s food and share a meal together and exchange stories and laughter. She loved their hot dogs!
Pearl will be missed very much! 💗
Aunt Pearl was a sweet and wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed.

Mom you were the best mom a girl could have. I have wonderful family memories locked in my heart. Loved your sense of humor and our daily chats. Now Dad has you in his arms and all your family a friends by your side. Love you and you will always be in my heart.
Grandma, I loved visiting you and every time I did you were always happy and smiling reminding me of all the good that can come of life. You were full of spirit and I’m lucky to have known you for as long as I did.
I did Pearls hair many years ago when they came to Fort Myers Beach. She always had a smile and was a joy.
I am sorry for your loss.
Aunt Pearl you were my favorite! When we were young and visited you always had fun things planned. Trips in the woods to find things and great lunches outside were just a few. Your family memories and stories that helped me build my family tree were the best. Thank you for being such a special part of my life. Love you!
You’ve helped the Herring family tree come alive with all that you remembered of our ancestors. Thanks for the stories. They were always special.
I will miss your great sense of humor and positive attitude. You will be in my heart forever and be another angel to help guide me. Love you!
Over the years, anytime I have thought of Pearl, all I could do is smile. She was delightful and had the greatest sense of humor. I’m sure a book on her life would be a bestseller! My deepest condolences ❤️
Aunt Pearl, you had so much impact on my young life growing up I’ll never forget you, and I know I’m a better person and parent because of your influence. I know there’s a card game goin’ on in heaven tonight with the gang all together again. Bless you!
My mother, Mary Lou Lancer, would like to send her sympathy on the passing of Pearl. She was a wonderful and kind woman. My mom does not have Carol’s phone number and would love to talk with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
Carol and family,
My heart goes out to you at Pearl’s passing. She always lifted my spirits with her humor during our short chats at ETW, when I was visiting my own mother. For me, Pearl will always be “quite a dame”.I
