It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Pearl Jefferson, peacefully at her residence in Concordia Place, Winnipeg, at the age of 99.
She was predeceased by her father Nelson Wellar and mother Mary Wellar (nee Morrison). Pearl was also predeceased by her beloved husband Les in 1991 and her eight siblings, Alec, Lonnie, Janet, Lucy, Edith, Violet, Lloyd and Vera.
Pearl leaves behind her two sons, Les Jr. of Seven Sisters Falls, MB and son Laurie (Bonnie) of Sioux Lookout, ON, as well as three grandchildren, Chris Jefferson (Carrie) of Winnipeg, MB, Angie Demers (Dwayne) of Trenton, ON, and Natalie Henderson (Jordan) of Hinton, AB, seven great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews whom she cherished as well.
Pearl was born in Strathclair, Manitoba, the youngest of nine children, and lived there until she graduated school and moved to Selkirk to be a telephone operator.
Pearl met the love of her life in Selkirk, Les Jefferson, and they were married in 1948. She spent most of her adult life in Selkirk, then Petersfield in retirement and settling in Winnipeg closer to other family after Les’ passing.
Many thanks to the staff at Concordia Place Nursing Home, who took excellent care of her in her last year.
Pearl will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
As per her wishes, there will be no funeral service.
