In 1946 Pearl married Kermit Leon Kelley, and after several years of travel they settled in Cheyenne, Wyoming where they raised 3 children, Edwin, Steven and Christine.
Pearl only stood 4'10 "but she was a dynamic person with a fiery spirit. Her family, faith and her work were her passions in life. Pearl was a Sunday school teacher for many years with the Methodist Church and worked in retail for over 50 years and only retired at the age of 89 after suffering a stroke. In 2001 she was awarded the Experience Works Prime Time Award in Wyoming and represented the State of Wyoming in Washington DC as its outstanding older worker.
Pearl was a kind and gentle woman, with great integrity and a love and dedication to her family that was always shown in everything she did with them. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with family was her favorite time of year and the placing of flowers on the family graves on Memorial Day in Chugwater was never forgotten by her.
She is survived by her sons, Edwin (Jerri) Kelley of Englewood, CO, Steven (Stacy) Kelley of Chugwater, WY, 8 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, special niece Donna of Cedaredge, CO and numerous nephews and nieces who she will be missed by all.
Pearl was preceded in death by her father and mother, 3 brothers and 3 sisters, her husband Kermit and her daughter Christine.
