She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Cecil Ray Glause and her identical twin sister, Ruth Geneva (Woodward) Powell. Pearl and her sister Ruth were born on October 19, 1920 near Comstock, NE, daughters of Clarence Edward Woodward and Lillie C. (Arasmith). They grew up in Archer, NE in the home of their paternal grandparents, Charles H. Woodward and their grandmother, Florence, after the death of their mother when they were nearly one year old. Pearl had wonderful memories of her loving grandparents and her “aunties” who helped raise her and of her home in Archer. The one great sadness that she carried al of her life was not getting to know her mother. She married Cecil in 1939 and became his helpmate for life farming near Archer and Central City. After retiring from farming, Pearl and Cecil moved to El Paso, TX for 10 years to be near their daughter and grandsons. When the grandchildren went away to college, Pearl and Cecil moved back to Grand Island to be in their beloved Nebraska. Pearl’s family and faith were the center of her life. She was a marvelous cook and baker, loving gardening and sharing all the goodies with her family. In addition, she was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed knitting and crocheting. China painting and doing ceramics with friends also was a joy of hers, and she made lovely gifts for those she loved. She loved nature, especially birds and other wild creatures that she encountered during her country walks. Lastly she loved music and imparted that love to her daughter. She sang in her church choir for many years and served as spiritual life leader for the Columbus Nebraska Methodist conference and truly walked the walk of her Christian faith, even having a prayer room in her home. In lieu of flowers memorials are suggested to Aseracare Hospice, 912 Concord Ave., Grand Island, NE 68803.
