Pearl has been an accomplished cowgirl, devoted wife and mother, and doting grandmother. She will be lovingly remembered for her fashionable style, her grace, and her beauty inside and out. Pearl had the biggest heart, which allowed her love to reach out not only to her real family, but also her rodeo family. She was an icon in the rodeo world, being inducted into the Canadian Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2015 after her husband Harold who was inducted in 1998. After 58 years of marriage, Harold was undoubtedly used to waiting for his wife and will surely be happy to greet her at Heaven's gate after waiting there for her since 2008.

Dear Vicki, Brian and family, Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss and we know that you will miss your Mom in so many ways. She was a special lady and our parents had many good times together. I am sure there will be horses and the cowboy way of life across the Great Divide for both of sets of parents.
