Pearline Joy Martin Obituary

As a child growing up in the village of Beecher Town, St Ann, Jamaica Pearline was very self- confident and assertive exhibiting leadership qualities. When playing “dolly-house with her friends she always assumed the role of mother or teacher-the one who gave orders. She was very good at delegating responsibilities while she assumed the role of supervisor. She loved to dress up and she really loved jewellery even to the point of using plumbago flowers to make ear-rings, necklace and garlands for her hair. Pearline was not generally an early riser but her love for mangoes and avocado would cause her to rise early to pick up her share because it was a first come first serve basis She was introduced to the way of the Lord at an early age by her grand- mother who saw to it that everyone in the household took part in devotions every night. Although from humble beginnings, she was taught the dignity of work, fair-play, love and kindness at an early age and she carried those attributes through life. She loved her siblings dearly and if it meant fighting to protect them from bullies at school she was willing to do that. As a teenager Pearline was determined that she wanted to be a teacher and so she studied very hard to get the requisite subjects for Teachers College. She loved to dance and always looked forward to the day when she could dress-up and go to birthday parties. She loved to debate and was at her best when she was having a lively debate on politics or religion. She loved a good game of dominoes although she was not too much of a good player. Pearline was an excellent wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend who loved to cook, entertain and host parties. Her home became a “haven” for many family members where everyone was welcome and treated with respect. We will miss her smile, those big brown eyes, her warm hug and her strong Christian Faith and Commitment but take confidence in the fact that she is at a better place , resting with the Lord. Until we meet again, rest well . We love you BUT GOD LOVES YOU BEST,. Submitted By Pansia Blackwell Mullings (sister)
