life. She spent her young life with a man she loved dearly, and wed another wonderful man with
whom she spent the remainder of her years. She loved, and was loved by her children and
grandchildren. Along with her family and friends, Pearl always had a deep love for the many
animals she cared for throughout her life. She spent much of her life at various horse races, and
rodeos, and many nights with her beloved dogs. During her time lived on the lakeshore she
enjoyed feeding her ducks. Pearl had a passion for travel and expressed that passion
throughout her endeavours to all corners of the world. Pearl squeezed all she could have out of
the years she was blessed with, and continued to do so as she made her peaceful passage
from this life into a heavenly one, waking up in the arms of Jesus.
Pearl is preceded in death by her parents Wesley and Esta Jenkins. Pearl is survived by her
