MERSEREAU, PEARL
Pearl Cynthia Mersereau, 87, Halifax, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 25, 2015, at Arborstone Enhanced Care Halifax, with her older son by her side.
Born in Briggs Corner, NB, she was a daughter of the late Freeman S. and Velma I. (Webber) Thompson. Pearl went out to work at 12 years of age at Hutchison Farm, Chipman NB, before moving to Rothesay, where she worked a time at Netherwood School for Girls and Shadow Lawn Bed and Breakfast in Rothesay, until her marriage in 1946. Pearl along with her husband Raymond, operated a farm from 1946 to 1966 in Fredericton Junction NB. She was a great lover of Country and Gospel Music and also loved company at any time. She never liked an empty house. She took summer trips with her sisters which she thoroughly enjoyed and loved to visit her family in Chipman. She loved her grandchildren dearly and was a great Missionary at home, helping many Christian Workers along their way. She had a very close sister and brother relationship with her brother Carl. She was a great example to all, loving her Bible and her Lord. She was a member of the Truro Heights Baptist Church in Truro Heights, and very proud of her 2 sons who both became Pastors. Mom endured cancer since she was 40, but never once complained.
