Pearlie started her work career as a licensed cosmetologist, but over the years switched careers several times. At the insistence of her husband, she retired from working outside the home in 1985. Her husband Ernest later joined her in retirement and they pursued a passion that they shared of traveling the country.

The couple married in June 1980 and were happily married for 37 years until Ernest's Home Going in January 2018. She was a faithful member of Sheffield Family Life Center.
