She married Anthony (Tony) Dickmann on November 23, 1946. Pearl was an active member of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, where she taught Sunday School, served communion, assisted at weddings and funerals, and was involved in the Women’s Circle. She created her own group known as the Kachina Girls and led the program for many years. Pearl was also a member of the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. She was an avid bird-watcher and enjoyed reading. Pearl loved teaching her family and friends handmade crafts such as baking, sewing, gardening, and many others.

Pearl’s loss is not mourned, but her life is celebrated by her family. She lived a long, adventurous and tenacious 95 years, and gave life everything she had. Even in her last moments, she stayed true to who she was - a powerful, independent, and strong-willed woman. We are comforted in knowing she was at peace with her life and that she is ready to face the journey ahead of her. We will love and miss her always.
