Ethel Pearl Holland Bostick was born August 14, 1941 in Panola County. She attended several public schools until 10th grade, when she left school to marry the love of her life, Elgie Ray Bostick. Pearlie, as she was known to most people, later earned her GED and took classes at Kilgore College.
Pearlie was a good cook and will be especially remembered for her dressing and gravy, fresh apple cake and "black and serve" rolls. When Pearlie left the house, she was always dressed immaculately, and if she was at home, she was in her pajamas. Pearlie always had room for one more knick-knack, especially if it was antique, and the more flowery, the better. She was the life of the party and kept us all laughing.
During her working days, she volunteered at the Social Security office and the library, and was employed by Oliver's Shoes, Jack's Shoes and Longview Public Library. After her retirement from the city, she mentored a student and volunteered as an usher at the Belcher Center as an usher. She loved participating in water aerobics, bingo at Green Street Recreational Center and British murder mysteries.
She loved red geraniums, magnolia blossoms and foot rubs from her adoring husband. Pearlie never gave up, even when her health made it hard for her to continue. It was her love of family that kept her going. She loved without regard for who you were or what you had done. And if she loved you, you knew it. She loved out loud.
