In 1978 Pearl married Henry Reeser. She and “Hank” lived in Fergus Falls where they often entertained family and friends, enjoyed their flowers and birds and battled the pesky squirrels. There were many trips to the lake for fishing and trips to see family in Northern Minnesota and Montana .

Sewing, baking and entertaining kept Pearl busy. There was always a cup of coffee and some goodies ready if you happened to drop by.
