Pearl Kwiatkowski

Care.

Pearl was born on August 21, 1924, in Rabat, Morocco to Jacob and Messody Azran. She is

survived by her daughters: Nancy Douglas, Carol (Michael) Hill, and Diane (Derrick) Hoxie, all of

St Augustine. Also five grandchildren: Laramie (Peter) Logan, Matthew (Joanne) Hill, Derrick

(Julia) Hoxie, Kathryn (Justin) Reeves and Jillian Hoxie, and eight great-grandchildren; Maia, Ty

and Grace Logan; Annabelle and Derrick Hoxie; Lainey, Meredith and Nathan Reeves. She

was preceded in death by her husband Henry Kwiatkowski, grandson Dr David Henry Hill, and

son-in-law, Ray Douglas.

She met and married her husband Henry at the end of World War II in Rabat. They lived in

Morocco and Spain, eventually retiring to Bremerton, Washington. An avid bowler, she won

many trophies, in addition she volunteered as a “gray lady” also known as Red Cross. Being

multilingual, she tutored students in French and Spanish, and also taught French at the

Olympic Community College for many years.

In 2008 after her husband passed, she relocated to NE Florida to be near her daughters. She

embraced the Florida lifestyle and became very active in her retirement community, volunteering

at the health center, social committee, Dining with Dignity, monthly birthday parties, knitting club,

water aerobics, bocce ball and exercising almost daily - up to the day before her passing.

Pearl loved her grandchildren and great grands. They reciprocated their love to her,

affectionately referring to her as “sweet little Momu”, and the “Pearl of Glenmoor”.

Celebration of Life will be at Westminster of St Augustine (Crichton Hall), Thursday, 15

December at 2pm.
