She retired after 25 years from Ampex Electronics Corporation and continued her volunteerism well into her eighties. Pearl was a long time member and secretary for the Gold Star Wives through Fort Carson Military Base in Colorado Springs. In her 22 years as a military wife and subsequent military widow, she made numerous friends around the country and overseas. Pearl's magic was in her hands. She was affectionately known as 'the pie lady' among her close circle of friends; as a seamstress, there was no end to what she could stitch together with her machine and hands. Pearl is survived by her daughters, Jacquelyn Ann Walker (Kenton) of Laramie, Wyoming, and Casey Lee Shelstad of Poolville, Texas; ten grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
