Ida Pearl (known to most as Pearl) was born and raised on Riffle Ford Road. She was born in 1918 and on Thursday, June 18, she celebrated her 105th birthday!
She has lived the last 70+ years on Quince Orchard Road, just couple miles away from her childhood home. She is a faithful and dedicated member of Fairhaven United Methodist Church and a loyal trustee of the Pleasant View Historical Association. Some know her as “The Avon Lady,” as she has been one for over 60 years.
During the pandemic, Ms. Pearl wasked what she’d like for her 102nd birthday, she said, “wave at the people as they go by.” So in keeping with her wishes hundreds of people joined a parade that began a quarter mile away and progressed past her house where she waited on her front lawn, waving to everyone who drove by.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Pearl ❤️
