Carole Pearson Obituary
She was born April 1, 1947, and was the daughter of Carolyn Adams, of Middletown, the late Donald Pearson, and her late step-father Allan Adams. Gigi was a loving soul, beautiful inside and out. She grew up in Middlefield at the Lyman Farm and later moved with her family to Durham graduating from Durham High School. Gigi lived in many places throughout the years always finding her way home to family. She made long lasting friendships in Norwood, Mass., and summered with those same friends yearly in Newport, R.I., before eventually moving there full time. She also lived for a time in Denver, N.C., and traveled the world spending seasons in Anguilla. Gigi had a discerning eye for fashion and jewelry becoming a certified gemologist. She owned a jewelry store, "Gigi's Touch", in Charlestown, R.I. and worked in JCPenney's fine jewelry in Connecticut and North Carolina for several years winning numerous sales awards. She also worked in her mother's furniture business, Carolyn Adams Country Barn.
Besides her mother, she is survived by two brothers, Ken Pearson and his wife, Marilyn, of Durham, Daniel Pearson and his wife, Gail, of Northford; three sisters, Donna Noonan, of Durham and Middletown, Alana Adams, of Durham, and Belinda Adams, of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.; several aunts, uncles, cousins; nieces, nephews; great-nieces and nephews; her dog Rocko. Her last wish was for her friends to know how much she truly loved them. Sleep peacefully our loving angel.
Friends may call at the D'Angelo Funeral Home, 22 S. Main St, Middletown, on Tuesday, Jan. 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at the United Churches of Durham at 11 a.m. followed by burial in the family plot in Mica Hill Cemetery.

Dear Mrs. Adams, Alana and entire Pearson Family,
I am sad to hear of Carol's passing. I wish to celebrate her wonderful life and the love of life she showed all of us who went to Durham High School with her. She was a true friend to us all in the Class of 1965 and was the center of the great fun we had being students at DHS. I'll miss Carol's classy personality. My prayers and love to all you.
