Pearl was born March 23, 1929, in Elkton, South Dakota to Henning and Sophia (Hummel) Hansen. She grew up on the family farm and attended school at Elkton, SD. After high school she moved to Sioux City where she met Gerald "Jerry" Curry. They got married on October 14, 1946, and had three children Peggy, Terry "TC" and Lance. Pearl enjoyed being a home maker. She loved to cook and bake especially cinnamon rolls, Christmas cookies, cakes and pies. Pearl would make the kids and grandkids whatever cake or pie they wanted for their birthday. She was a go getter, always busy doing something for someone. Her favorite saying was "Don't put off till tomorrow what you can get done today."

She was a member of the First Lutheran Church of South Sioux City; Pearl also was a former member of the Wednesday and Thursday bowling leagues at the old Harmony Lanes in South Sioux City. She also played a lot of golf with her husband at the old Sioux City Boat Club
