Pearl grew up in Dublin, and graduated from Peterborough High School. While working at the Peterborough Co-operative Bank she met her husband Lee LaFleur. With her husband, she enjoyed wintering in places like Destin, Florida, Myrtle Beach and Arizona. She loved summers at the camp on Contoocook Lake where she spent time with friends and family.

She is predeceased by her loving husband of more than 58 years, Lee A. LaFleur who died September 5, 2016, and her brother Richard Raisanen who died August 22, 2015.
