Pearl was born in New York, New York, on June 12, 1936. She grew up in New York City and the saying, “you can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl” has some truth to it, as Pearl was a passionate and focused woman.
At a young age, she knew what she wanted, and she pursued her interests with focus and intent. Her loving nature lifted everyone around her, and a sense of control and love could quench any storm.
Pearl married the love of her life, Larry Curtis, and they shared 50 years together. They were inseparable and enjoyed family, traveling, fine food, and their little fur babies.
Pearl passed away in Portland, OR, on January 22, 2020, and is survived by her loving husband for a beautiful 50 years Larry Curtis; son Ralph and his spouse Jeri, granddaughters Emily and Colleen, and Colleen's husband Alex. Son Steve and his spouse Ann. Son Kevin and his spouse Janice and grandson Chad. Daughter Charmaine and her spouse Chris and grandkids Dalton, Chase, Avery, and Sean.
