She welcomed everyone into her home “as long as you didn’t drop anything on her rug.” 

Her words of wisdom were valued by many. She encouraged academic achievement and independence. 

She enjoyed playing volleyball in an adult volleyball league. She loved to cook, play bingo, decorate her house, dance, shop, and always kept a close watch on the neighborhood by peeping out her window.

Pearl was preceded in death by her mother, Jessie Mae; her brothers, Dennis, Donald, Dwight, and Douglas Balleau; her nieces, Nikeya and Cynthia Ann and great-nephew, Tremell Jr.
