Sarah D. Pearl

Sarah Dee Pearl, born February 14, 1977 took her first breath in her heavenly home on May 4, 2011. Our precious Sarah is at liberty to explore untiringly the greatest adventure of them all in her pain free body. She has now experienced first hand the Truth of the Gospel… “for eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor can the human mind conceive the things God has prepared for those who love Him�. We can only imagine the sensory delights she is now experiencing. Explore, Experience, Enjoy, Sweet Valentine, Enjoy!! Sarah is survived by her parents, Bill and Carolyn (nee Hilton), her sister, Hannah, her paternal grandmother, Kathryn (nee Wright), and her aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. She is preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, O. Dee Pearl, her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Hilton (nee Estes), her maternal grandfather, Ernest L. Hilton and her uncle, Stephen Pearl. Sarah was born in St. Louis, MO and lived for periods of time in Jefferson City, MO, Hershey, PA, Mechanicsburg, PA, Kansas City, MO and Chicago, IL. She moved to Chicago to attend college and maintained her residence there until her recent relocation to Heaven. Sarah loved art, poetry, architecture, fashion design, photography, film, sewing, writing, acting, modeling, and traveling. She loved life in the big city and could create her own excitement and adventure out of ordinary experiences. Always the fashionista, she loved the camera and the camera loved her. She was a dreamer, a creative artist and an excellent communicator. Her sense of humor was keen and intact until the very end. Our hearts are heavy with our loss but our memories are full of joyful experiences with Sarah that will never be forgotten. Her battle with cancer was courageous and awe inspiring. She had a life too short, but a life well lived. She will be forever loved and missed by her family and friends. The first 34 years of her eternal existence are over. Now, for Sarah, the most excellent part begins! We will join you again sweet Sarah, in a blink of God’s eye. Visitation will be held from 4-8 pm on Thursday, June 2nd at White Chapel Funeral Home in Gladstone, MO. The funeral service will be held at White Chapel on Friday, June 3rd at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to www.CaringBridge.org, cancer research or your local Hospice support.
