I have known Pearl for more than 30 years through membership in the Woman’s Club of Rochester but mostly as a close friend of my parents, Rhea and Heman Hunt. Pearl skiied for years with my father and he was so impressed with her talent and grace on the slopes. Pearl and my mother played bridge, golfed and enjoyed the gourmet bridge group together. Their New year’s Eve gatherings were great and went on for years. Pearl, Mom and I even played racquetball together many years ago. Pearl, like my mom, was a true lady, always kind and sweet and with a true sense of fun. She led a wonderful long life and we will miss her..
Blessings to Pearl’s family – may you cherish your wonderful memories of her always.
