Pearl provided childcare in her home in Lewes for many years.

She will be dearly missed.

She is survived by three children: Peggy Conaway (Kenneth) of Georgetown, Tom Morris (Marlene) of Lewes, and John Morris of Lewes. She also leaves behind one grandson, Rev. KC Conaway and his wife Kristy of Laurel; along with two great-granddaughters, Keelie and Kaylin Conaway.  Pearl is also survived by extended family and many friends.
