She was very supportive of their endeavors and extremely proud of their accomplishments. After her children left home, Pearl started a small business called Pearl’s Promotions where she did food demonstrations in grocery stores. Her sales ability helped launch many new products into the marketplace. In several stores, she was known as the “Schneiders Lady”. Pearl’s many beautiful gardens were a tribute to Mother Nature, but her real domain was her kitchen. Meals she prepared for family and friends will be long remembered.
