    I worked with Pearl at Mansfield City Schools Raemelton Student Services Building. We had lots of great laughs together. Pearl’s smile, wit, and laugh could always make you feel better. Pearl shared so many stories of Freddy, Frederick, Lona, Jamario, and other precious members of her family. I remember Jamario’s childhood artwork would always be proudly on display next to her desk. She will be missed but I feel comfort in that she is with her beloved Freddy, and Frederick once again because she missed them terribly. Sending my condolences and prayers to Pearl’s family and friends.

    My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of our beloved Miss Howard. I have fond memories of her from 35 years ago while helping in the attendance office at Mansfield Senior High. She “raised” all of us and helped keep us in line…as best she could. (I was glad we could not actually go outside and grab a switch back then…and I will never let someone use my phone without disinfecting it with rubbing alcohol)
    May God bless her, she had so much patience with us students. We knew she loved us. I hope she knew how much we all loved her! Prayers to the family during this time. I hope your memories make you smile. Xoxox
