During her service, she served in many capacities of the Missionary Society, Bible study team, Vice-President of the Nazarene Baptist Missionary Auxiliary, and she sung on the choir just to name a few.

"The future is not to know, and it may never be, so let us give our best, never anticipating or doubting the power of our Savior; asking nothing of tomorrow except-THY WILL BE DONE."

Our loved one has been taken, but God has gained another angel. On Friday, October 2, 2020, Pearlie departed this life at Colleton Medical Center, Walterboro, South Carolina.
