Pearl A. POBST 

Surrounded by family, the Lord called Pearl home on April 7, 2003 after a 
brief struggle with cancer. She was born 12/6/21 to Albin and Agnes Rudell in 
Minneapolis, MN where she lived until moving to Washington in the 1950's. 
She married David Pobst Nov. 1965, and had many great adventures until his 
death Dec. 2000. Pearl made a joyful life in Shoreline, Stanwood, and Lacey, 
and shared kindnesses with many. She was a member of Eastern Star and 
loved her church family. Friends and family will remember her crocheted 
gifts, constant letters, and brilliant memory of family events and fun 
occasions. She gave of her talents to Panorama City, her church, and to 
charities. Her spirit of giving and friendship will remain with us. She is 
survived by their daughter, Lorna and spouse, Michael Dykes; her two 
brothers Glenn & Allan, and their family in Minneapolis, and her many 
cousins: Mary & Eric Snelson and family of Olympia; the Blomberg family in 
CA and AZ, and the Horak and Elliott family in MN. She will be laid to rest at 
the Masonic Cemetery in Tumwater, WA. A Life Celebration and Memorial 
will be held at the Lacey Community Church, 4501 19th Ave S.E. at 2:30 
p.m., Sunday April 13, 2003. Donations may be made to the church, Christian 
Children's Fund, Make a Wish foundation, or a favorite charity.
