Pearl Gagne Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 16, 2017.

Pearl Lillian Gagne 96, of Clinton Twp., passed away January 16, 2017, at 12:05pm. She was born in Detroit on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1920 to George and Bella Giasson, and was united in marriage on March 4, 1946 to the late Peter E. Gagne.

Survived by son Ernie Gagne, daughters Irene (Bud) Balfour and Diane (Tom) Crepeau. Grandchildren, Katie, Jackie (Tony) Perry, Jill, Thomas and Wally. Also survived by; Great granddaughter Mallory and brother George Giasson.

Preceded in death by her parents George and Bella, husband Peter and brothers, Ralph, Albert, Henry, Ray and Charles, she lived longer than any other member in this Family's history.

Pearl was the most unpretentious, selfless, sincere woman you could ever know. She was loving, caring and sweet as can be. She never wanted anything for herself, and only wanted to help her family. She is, and will always be dearly missed.

Grandma Perl I miss you so much. You were always the sweetest and kindest woman I've ever known. You excepted me as if I was your own grandchild instead of a step grandchild and you never made me feel less loved or important to you. I will always remember the good times I had with you, especially at Christmas with the family. But I know you're with Grandpa now. I love you grandma always.

Dearest Aunt Pearl, I will always remember your beautiful smile and hugs when you and Uncle Pete, Ernie, Irene and Diane would come and visit us in New Hampshire many, many years ago. You were such a wonderful, warm human being and I always wanted to be just like you! It broke my heart when you would eventually have to leave us to go back to Michigan. I would always look forward to the following year when you would all come back to see us! Uncle Pete will be so happy to see you again until all the family can be reunited in Heaven some day! Rest in peace beautiful soul!

Mom, I miss you so much already! My best friend is gone! I will miss our talks on the phone every day. You were always there for me. Always made time to listen, and give advice. I will miss your beautiful smile, and loving hugs. I've learned so much from you! I hope you found your way to Dad, and will spend eternity together. My heart is breaking, but you will always be with me in my heart ❤

I miss you Mom, wherever you are. I miss all the things that seemed like extra trouble for me at the time, and wish I could do them for you now. I miss not having you call for me to come help you get out of your chair. I miss walking you, me walking backwards as I guided you, both arms locked on mine. I miss your wanting me to get you something to eat, I miss getting you your evening coffee and cookie. In short I miss being with you and hope and pray you are blessed in Heaven right now. Thank you so much for being my Mom... I'm sorry for the times I made you unhappy, and wish you had never had to suffer at all, but that's the way life is, and we are all still just coming to understand the depths of it all. Dear God, please make Pearl Gagne welcome in Heaven, I hereby testify how good a person she is and how very much she deserves it. Love, Ernie Gagne
