Pearl Alice Trahan was born on April 17, 1937, to the late Elvar and Elina Maturin Trahan. She found joy in many hobbies. She was passionate about cross stitching and sewing, often transforming simple fabric into beautiful creations. Her love for arts, crafts and painting allowed her to express her artistic flair. 

Pearl was an excellent baker; her collection of cookbooks was a testament to her culinary passion.
