Pearl Purdy

PEARL WINIFRED PURDY WAS CALLED HOME TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ON AUGUST 20TH, 2024. LEAVING BEHIND HER LOVING HUSBAND JAN AND THEIR FOUR CHILDREN: DAVID, SHANA, TROY AND STEVEN.

BORN MAY 9,1949, TO MAUD AND FLOYD PECK. SHE GREW UP HERE IN SALT LAKE CITY WITH HER YOUNGER BROTHER BILL AND OLDER SISTERS: SUE, KAY AND VALOY.

PEARL FOUND HER MATCH WHILE MAKING HER WAY THROUGH THE HALLS OF SALT LAKE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE. A YOUNG BARBER STUDENT CAUGHT A GLANCE AT HER THROUGH THE DOORWAY AND ANNOUNCED HE WAS GOING TO MARRY HER. JAN AND PEARL WERE MARRIED 58 YEARS.

THE YOUNG COUPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN SPENT TIME LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA AND BRIDGELAND, UTAH, BEFORE MOVING BACK TO THE VALLEY PERMANENTLY. DURING THIS TIME, SHE PUT HER SEWING SKILLS TO GOOD USE MANUFACTURING TEXTILES FROM HOME, LEADING HER TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE SEWING INDUSTRY LATER ON.

WHEN PEARL MADE UP HER MIND, THAT WAS IT. SHE WAS FIERCE, STRONG WILLED, AND A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. SHE HAD A GREAT MIND FOR BUSINESS AND THRIVED IN HER CAREER.

PEARL HAD SO MANY TALENTS. SUCH AS CREATING JEWELRY, HAND CRAFTING THOUGHTFUL CARDS, QUILTING OR WEAVING BEAUTIFUL BLANKETS, AND A LOVE OF BAKING TREATS. SHE FOUND JOY IN CREATIVITY UNTIL HER COMPLICATED ILLNESSES TOOK OVER.

SHE IS FINALLY AT PEACE AND WILL BE REUNITED IN HEAVEN WITH HER MOTHER, FATHER AND SISTER KAY.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE WELCOME TO A PUBLIC VIEWING MONDAY, AUGUST 26TH, 2024 FROM 6:00PM TO 8:00PM AT MCDOUGAL'S LIFE CELEBRATION CENTER, 4330 SOUTH REDWOOD ROAD, TAYLORSVILLE, UTAH 84123.

PEARL WILL BE LAID TO REST BY CLOSE LOVED ONES THE FOLLOWING DAY, AUGUST 27TH, 2024 FROM 1:00PM TO 3:00PM AT UTAH VETERANS CEMETERY & MEMORIAL PARK 17111 SOUTH CAMP WILLIAMS ROAD, BLUFFDALE, UTAH 84096
