Nancy Pearl (May 22, 1952 - April 12, 2024) known around Revere, Charlestown, Lynn and Cambridge, MA, as her alter ego, "Pearl," the ever exuberant Karaoke songstress, died at 71 years old in an Arizona Medical Center of multi-organ failure.
A personality bigger than life, with a flair for the dramatics & a lover of holidays, with matching festive garb. Nancy was happy & bold, & partly misunderstood. She loved celebration, family, the ocean, children & her wishes for a convetional life as a wife, mother, with a "white picket fence" fell out of reach.
Always a giver, a friend to the homeless and battered women's causes, she was generous, even if kindness wasn't returned. Others came first. She saw the best in everyone. She lived life with gusto. And dreamed of bigger dreams then she could live, but it never stopped her.
A passionate devotee of Christianty, Nancy dedicated a portion of her life to Bible Study.
She found her calling in Cosmetology as a Hairdresser and lived a quiet life. In the end, she was surrounded by her Adored brother & first childhood chum, Gary F. of AZ. Protective eldest sister Gail L. of NH. Devoted sister R. B. of CA. Beloved sister Dawn N. of Papua New Guniea. And Cherished baby sister Fran E. of FLA.
Nancy follows her late parents, father Irwin V. of MA, mother Patricia T. of NH, late sister Karen J. of MA, late son Alexander C. of MA, and late Aunt Nita M. of FLA.
She leaves behind her niece Jennifer L. of NH. A great neice, nephew and a great-great niece and nephew.
