HARGREAVES: Pearl, formerly of Brandon Hills District, beloved wife of the late Harleigh Hargreaves passed away peacefully at the Assiniboine Centre on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at the age of 82. Pearl was born in Brandon, Manitoba on October 24, 1923 and grew up in the Hayfield District. After high school in Brandon she completed a business course. She worked as a wireless operator in the Royal Canadian Air Force stationed in Newfoundland and then at the Bank of Montreal prior to her marriage in 1948 to Harleigh. Harleigh and Pearl farmed in the Brandon Hills District and then moved to Lions Manor in 1999. Pearl was active in her community. She was involved with the Brandon Hills Busy Bees, and also taught Sunday School at the Brandon Hills. In earlier years she participated in tennis, baseball, track and field events, and gardening. Later in life she enjoyed reading, knitting, golfing, and walking. Pearl attended many of her grandchildren's sporting events. She and her husband loved to winter in Weslaco and Phoenix, making many long-term relationships. They appreciated family and friends dropping in. Pearl will be lovingly remembered by her children Grant (Verla), Seann and Lana; Jim (Nancy), Aaron, Danielle, and Jason; Elaine (Brian Graham), Tara (David) Scharich and great grandson David, Lisa, and Krista; Ron (Tanis), Craig (Jen) great grandson Ryden, and Chad.
