E. Grover Pearson, 92, of Corsicana, passed away on Sunday, July 30, 2017. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, August 2, 2017, at the funeral home. A memorial service will be at 3:30 p.m., Friday, August 4, 2017, at Greenwood Funeral Home Chapel, Ft. Worth. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
Elmer Grover was born in Big Hill, Texas, to the late Fred Ben and Mary Alice Pearson. Grover graduated from Reagan High School in the spring of 1942 and joined the U.S. Navy to support the country he loved and to protect it from the Axis Powers. He did basic training in San Diego, California. Upon completion of basic training, he was transferred to several different training posts across the country for training as an aviation gunner/radioman and upon qualification as a flight aviation radioman was assigned to the USS San Francisco.
For 2½ years, he served in the submarine patrol off the West Coast. His ship was then sent to sea and participated in several raids in the western Pacific which included the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. His plane was the first and only air cover for the first group of Marines who invaded Okinawa that Easter Sunday morning of 1945.
After the Peace Treaty was signed, his ship was assigned "Show of Force" duty along the east coast of Asia. This area extended from south of the Philippians north to Port Arthur, Russia. He was awarded four medals during his service in the Navy. His ship, the USS San Francisco, received more battles stars than any other ship of its size/class and was the only ship in the history of mankind where two of its crewmen were awarded our Nation's highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor, in one battle. Grover was honorably discharged from the Navy in January 1946.
After his military service, Grover returned to Texas and enrolled at Texas Wesleyan College then transferred to North Texas State College. While a student at North Texas, he was a member of the drama group College Players, a member of the Falcon's Fraternity and lettered two years in track. Grover often joked that many times he was tempted to quit school, but was afraid that if and when he met up with any of his ship buddies from the war he'd be the only one that didn't finish college so he stuck it out. When Grover attended his first ship reunion in the 1980s, he discovered he was the only one of all his buddies that did finish college! While at North Texas he attended church at Polytechnic Baptist Church in Fort Worth with a friend from North Texas who lived in Ft. Worth. There he met Pollye Ruth West. They married on November 3, 1950.
Upon graduation from North Texas with his BS in education, Grover taught and coached at the junior high in Nocona for 3½ years, then at the high school in McKinney for one year and in 1955 began his 14 years at Carter Riverside High School in Fort Worth as a teacher, coach, and counselor. While at Carter Riverside, he introduced the "no pass - no play" rule in 1956; twenty-nine years before it became a state mandate. During his 14 years in Fort Worth ISD, he was chosen to serve on a five member writing team that compiled the first biology laboratory manual to be used in the FWISD. Grover continued his own education while teaching and earned his Masters in Education and his Counselor and Administrator's certifications. As a high school counselor, he was the first counselor to register students using a computer in the FWISD.
In 1969, he was hired by the Corsicana ISD to be the principal at Corsicana High School. While employed by CISD he made the suggestion that those running for the Corsicana School Board "run for a designated place" rather than "at large".
Grover was a very active member of First Baptist Church. He was on the Board of Deacons for 45 years and served as the Director of the Senior Adult Sunday School Department for over 25 years.
When Grover retired from teaching, he began selling and appraising real estate. He served as president of the Navarro County Board of Realtors and was a board member of The Navarro County Appraisal District. He was active in Lion's Club for over 20 years and served as president. He was active in the Navarro County Republican Party and served many years as a Polling Place Judge. He also spent many years as a volunteer at the Navarro County Food Pantry.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 51 years, Pollye Ruth West Pearson; brother, Billy Wayne Pearson; and sisters, Mary Ben Pearson and Lee Pearson.
Survivors include his daughters, Karen Compton and husband, Jim, of Corsicana, and Amy Gotcher and husband, Pat, of Ft. Worth; grandchildren: Ellen Compton Carter and husband, Charles, of Mabank, Kimberly Gotcher, of Ft. Worth, West Gotcher and wife, Leanne, of Houston, and Amy-Paige Gotcher, of Houston; great-grandchildren: Emmalee and James Carter, of Mabank, and Olivia and Baby Boy Gotcher, of Houston; sister, Nell Pearson, of Edinburg, Texas; sister-in-law, Nell Gilmer, of Ft. Worth; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. M5

Funeral: Family and friends will gather at Greenwood Chapel to celebrate a life well-lived on Friday, August 4, 2:30 PM for family visitation to preceding the memorial service at 3:30 PM.
He was born in Big Hill, Texas on Jan. 2, 1925, Grover grew up on his family's farm. In 1942, he joined the Navy and was a highly decorated serviceman and served as a reconnaissance airman based on the flagship USS San Francisco, flying courageous missions over Okinawa and Iwo Jima. Grover graduated from the University of North Texas following the war. He met the love of his life, Pollye Ruth West, and they were married on November 3, 1950 at Polytechnic Baptist Church in Fort Worth. He had 51 years of faithful husbanding, the raising of two children and being Gaddy to his grand and great-grandchildren followed.
Coaching and teaching were Coach Pearson's passions. Stints in Nocona and McKinney preceded his time as coach and teacher at Carter-Riverside High School. He described this period as the best years of his life. A teacher with high expectations, a coach that instilled discipline and a principal with principles, he is still loved, respected, possibly feared by his former students and remembered by all. Following his retirement, he was a licensed real estate appraiser for 25 years. An ordained deacon at Riverside Baptist Church, a member of the Lions Club, a Mason, director of his Sunday School class for 20+ years, Grover was an honorable man. He commanded attention when he entered any room, even if it required being the loudest one present.
The family expresses its gratitude to the staffs at Brookdale Assisted Living Center and Providence Hospice for the care they so lovingly provided Grover. A final testament: "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Grover was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Pollye Ruth.
Survivors: Daughters, Karen Compton (Jim) and Amy Gotcher (Pat); four grandchildren, Ellen (Charles), Kimberley, West (Leanne), and Amy Paige; four great-grandchildren, Emmalee, James Carter, Olivia Mae, and Baby Boy Gotcher; a sister, Nell Pearson; and many cherished family and friends.
