Pearl and Burman were married for 43 years until his passing in 1980. Their only child, Darlene, was the light of their lives. Pearl was a devoted member of Compassion Radford (formerly First Pentecostal Holiness Church) since she was 11 years old. She continued attending faithfully right up until her very last days.

She enjoyed sewing and quilting, especially making her personalized baby quilts for new arrivals. Pearl loved being at social events like church activities, senior Bingo games, and day trips. She loved people, never met a stranger, or missed an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus.

Survivors include her son-in-law, Frank G. Havens of Radford; grandchildren and their spouses, Larry and Kathy Havens, Sherry Feeny, Tina Edmonds and Cindy and Pat Cahill; 7 great-grandchildren and their spouses, April and Josh Tabor, Justin and Katie Havens, Erica Dill, Jesse Edmonds, Joey and Juliana Edmonds, Jenna and Austin Altis, and Becca and Daniel Duncan; 11 great-great-grandchildren, Preston, Addy, Kennedy, Sophie, Hunter, Gracie, Aiden, Haven, Ella, Caroline, and Liliana; and many other relatives and friends.
