Pearlie Mae Mosby passed away peacefully on August 3, 2024, in Hastings, Michigan. Pearlie was born on May 29, 1939, in Sodus, Michigan, the daughter of Ernest and Bessie (Burris) McGinnis, Sr.

Pearlie's educational journey was marked by her graduation from Benton Harbor High School in 1956, followed by her graduation from Lake Michigan College in 1958. Her professional life was dedicated to caring for others as a nurse at Memorial Hospital in the 1960s, and Bendix from 1968 until her retirement in 1975 due to health issues.

Pearlie possessed an artistic flair, which she expressed through sewing, crafts, and jewelry making. Her creative touch also extended to her home, which she enjoyed remodeling.
