Pearl Hodgins

Pearl Hodgins (née King) of Wingham, passed away peacefully, at Braemar Nursing Home on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, four days before her 95th birthday. Her faith and family were her foundation. Time spent with her family and friends were always a priority for her. 

 

Pearl was the beloved wife of the late “Wib” Wilbert Hodgins, who predeceased her in 1981 and the loving mother of Larry and Verna Hodgins, Wingham, and Lanna and Ron Abbott, Brantford. Pearl was known as “Nana P” to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many other family members and close friends. She was adored by her grandchildren Debbie Hodgins (Green), Gavin (Debra) Hodgins, Shamus (Joe Devoe) Abbott, Brit (Jamie) Abbott, and Jeff (Angie) Storey. She was loved dearly by her great-grandchildren Shaelin, Shelby and Spencer Green; Hannah and Jackson Hodgins, and Alana Woods, Simon and Landry Read; Eliotte Brouillard; Lola and Bowie Abbott; and Payton Storey. Pearl was the cherished sister of Wilma and Cecil Sutton of Ripley, and loved “Auntie” of many nieces and nephews. 

 

Pearl was predeceased by her parents George and Eva King, and siblings Willex and Maxine King, Mae and Ray Myatt, Mildred and Stewart Couch (and Art Ward); and her parents-in-law Fredrick and Florence Hodgins, and sister-in-law Eunice Fair.

 

Visitation was held on Monday, Sept. 27 prior to a private family funeral service in the afternoon. Interment took place in Wingham Cemetery.
