Kathleen Pearson Obituary

KATHLEEN PEARSON Kathleen J. Pearson, 54, of Las Vegas, passed away Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, after fighting a hard-fought battle with ovarian cancer for over a year. She was born March 21, 1955, in Las Vegas, and was a lifetime resident. Kathleen was a loyal 25-year bookkeeper for Howie's Automotive Service Center. She had no children, but was considered the best second mom that anyone could ever have. She loved lighthouses and seals, and her family and friends. She was amazed how many people came forth to help her when she needed it. Kathleen sent cards and letters for all occasions, or just to say hi. She loved to help everyone and will be greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her mother and father. Kathleen is survived by her sister, Sandy Jane Price; and brother-in-law, Roy Price, both of Chula Vista, Calif.; uncle, Don Pearson and all his family; cousin, Bonnie; and many family members in Iowa and Nebraska. Visitation will be 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at Palm Mortuary, 1325 N. Main St. Graveside service will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, at Palm Memorial Park - Las Vegas. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAS NOW BEEN 1 YEAR SINCE WE LOST YOU. EVERYDAY I THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU MORE. OUR ONLY COMFORT IS KNOWING THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER LIFE NOW. YOU WERE THE SWEETEST SISTER AND AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON. I AM SO PROUD OF HOW YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE HERE.

My sister, my heart, my forever friend. Our family was truly blessed when you came to us. Your presence was a never-ending source of joy. You were exceptional and very special in so many ways. Your beauty was not just on the outside but glowed from within so much so that people were instantly drawn to you.
You made many many sacrifices that only your family knew. You never complained and always did what was right without wanting credit or reward. You were extremely loyal to those you loved.
Let your life be an inspiration to all of us who are missing you.
Beautiful sister, your spirit is strong and we will always be together in our dreams.

Kathy, You were the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. I will miss our Sunday night phone conversations. You were more than a friend to us, you were our family. God blessed us with a friend like you. You are home now and will have some peace. Love you always. Your Iowa Family...

Kathy, your smile must be lighting up Heaven, like it lit up the room, though it's been about forty years since I've seen it last.

To your family and friends, remember that smile and know it shines down on you. Sandy, you're my heart and my prayers go with you always. Our kid sister is at peace.

Jesus preceded us in an earthly death so that we do not have to fear it. It is the ultimate life experience. Kathy is with Him now.
We rejoice in her life with us.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Kathy's family and friends. My prayers are with you at this time. Kathy was the baby sister of my first girlfriend, Sandy. I have many fond memories of those years on 10th Street. Kathy was such a sweet person and always so nice when I saw her at Howie's. She will be greatly missed.
