Pearl loved her family and was a very loving person and it didn’t matter if you were a blood or not she was there for them. If you needed a place to stay, food or money she was there for you.

Pearl loved sports in the 70-80’s she was a team mom for wrestling, basketball and track and field. Later she became a team great grandma. She attended her great granddaughter Azia’s baseball games. She also never missed a football game for great grandson Jordan until illness stopped her from attending. But that didn’t stop her from still being supportive and part of the team so she watched the games on tv. She also loved to attended the football games of her great great nephews lil Allan and Devon. 

 Pearl and her sister (sista) were commonly known as “Thelma and Louise” because they enjoyed going to Chumash casino, Las Vegas and let’s not forget those 2-3 hours excursions to Walmart.

Pearl couldn’t wait for our family’s annual trip to Debra and Paul’s house in San Jose for Thanksgiving. 

She also enjoyed our family dinners at a local restaurant but especially the margarita’s which she inheld like a true Jackson.

Pearl not being with us has left a huge void in our family and life. She will be truly missed every day. She’s at home with her family and no longer in pain and forever happy.
