Pearson Setlin Obituary

SETLIN, PEARSON HENRY Pearson passed away on October 20, 2017, with her family and her sister, Meredith Van Dyne and her family by her side. Pearson was born in Atlanta, Georgia and lived much of her life in England and Miami Beach.

Pearson was Debutante of the Year in London in 1955 and was one of the last American girls to be presented to the Queen. The Daily Telegraph and Morning Post reported, "They (the English girls) are united in envying the poise of the American girl taking part- Pearson Henry." Pearson was a beautiful and elegant woman who was a kind and considerate friend to all who knew her. She was a good horseman and athlete who loved dancing, bridge and golf, which she played for many years at LaGorce Country Club where she was President of the Women Golf Association and at the Blowing Rock Country Club, Blowing Rock, N.C. Pearson is survived by her husband, Howard, her daughters, Corby McGrath (John) and Kelly Setlin, her grandchildren, Lauren McGrath, Ian McGrath and Skylar Setlin.

Pearson, fondly known to me as "Aunt Pan" since I was very young, was one of the most beautiful and elegant women I have ever known. Aunt Pan always looked like she walked out of a magazine, whether sporting a tennis skirt or an evening gown. So many fond childhood memories with Aunt Pan, Uncle Howard, Corby, Kelly and the Van Dynes, from fishing and fish fries to birthday parties and sleepovers, cotillion, ballet classes, the Bath Club, football games, dinners, Open Houses, Halloween -- more than I could ever mention. Seeing everyone at the visitation this evening was a testimony to a lovely lady and a wonderful family, with many dear friends and family members spanning the decades and generations. You will be missed, Aunt Pan, and you will always be remembered with love and affection.

My sympathies to Uncle Howard, Aunt Mere, Kelly and Corby. Aunt Pan was a wonderful person and I have very fond memories of her and all of you. You all are in our prayers.

We are very sorry for your loss. At times of hardship, the common advice you may hear is simply "move on." But move on to where? We can find comfort in the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:10 - "Let your kingdom come." This Kingdom is real, and it brings comfort when we understand the blessings it will bring.
