Pearl was one of a kind and had many talents she generously shared with family and friends. She will be remembered by the many crocheted items she entered in the county fair, such as table cloths, bedspreads,doilies,and afghans, often winning Best of Show. She would later gift them to loved ones. Many family members received custom made quilts. She was an avid gardener and harvested bushels and bushels of green chili, which she would roast, peel, chop, and bag. She made sure everyone had enough chili to last till next season. These are just a few of her many talents.
Pearl will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
