She was predeceased by her husband Bryden; daughter-in-law Claire; her parents, Wilmont and Eva-Mae Goudy, and siblings Grace, Margaret, and Donald. She leaves to mourn, her children, Douglas and Beverley (Leigh) and grandchildren, Sharon (Lavern), Signe (Chris), Samuel, Jillian (Sel) and Jayne (Jeremy), along with great-grandchildren Bryden, Brooke, Marie, Winona, Matthew, Summer, MacKenzie, Kayden, Katrina, Reagan, and Pearl's brother Calvin (Mary) along with numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. Pearl was born in Prince George, BC on September 2, 1921. Over the years, she and her family moved first to Saskatchewan and then to Manitoba. She met her husband, Bryden De'Athe in Sidney, MB and they married on November 11, 1940. Together, she and Bryden built up a successful farming operation near Carberry, MB, which their son Douglas now continues. Pearl was an invaluable partner in the farming operation, a great cook, an avid gardener, and a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She had a great sense of humour and a strong commitment to her family. She was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. Bryden passed away in April, 2007. Shortly after, Pearl moved to Winnipeg to be closer to her daughter. She lived in her own home in Winnipeg for five years, and then in 2012, moved to Misericordia Place Personal Care Home. A special thanks to the staff at Misericordia for their great care, and to five very special ladies who were caring companions for several years: Linda, Jeannette, Becky, Fran, and Malou.
