Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

FINK –PEARL
E. KIMBLE, age 88, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, April 27, 2015
from her home. She was born Aug. 8, 1926 in Old Forge, N.Y., the middle of
nine children of John and Bertha Helmer Fink. Pearl spent her early years
moving frequently around central New York State, due to her father's work.
Her parents eventually settled in Ilion, N.Y. On Oct. 12, 1946 she married
Wallace Kimble with whom she had 49 ½ years as he predeceased her on Feb.
24, 1996. After one year in New York, the couple, with their daughter
Barbara moved to a small farm in Luthers Mills, Pa. There, three more
daughters were born, Mary, Joan and Janet. Pearl would help as needed on the
farm but her main focus was that of a homemaker. In 1969 the farm was sold
and Pearl and Wally moved to North Towanda, with Wally then working at GTE
Sylvania. He retired in 1980 after which they would spend winters in Ocala,
Fla. It was there that Pearl attended a Baptist church and gave her life to
the Lord. Soon following, she became a proud member of the Independent
Baptist Church in Towanda which she attended regularly until her death.
Pearl and Wally moved to Rome, Pa. in 1990 and enjoyed a few years there
before Wally's health declined and he passed. Though she never thought of
herself as a caretaker/nurse she did all she could for her husband. Since
his death in 1996 she had kept her home there in the Seven Hills trailer
park, thanks to her good neighbors and independent spirit. At age 70 she
learned to crochet and made some 800+ lap robes which she gave to the
elderly and anyone she thought might need one. Her other interests were her
flowers, inside and out and beautiful, her family, reading (nearly a book a
day) especially her Bible, and telling anyone who would listen about her
Lord. Pearl will be remembered by those who knew her as being a very
energetic, no-nonsense, caring individual determined to the end. She truly
was one of a kind. Surviving are daughters and sons-in-law, Barbara and Jim
Warburton, Mary Tyler, Joan and Glenn Shanks, and Janet and Nabil Khalil;
grandchildren, Bruce (Sandy) Warburton, Amy (Mike) Calaman, Brian (Eileen)
Warburton, Timothy (Sharon) Cobb, Daniel (Querly) Cobb, Kristie (Pedro)
Garduno, Mike (Lisa) Shanks, Andy (Kirsten) Shanks, and Tami Shanks;
great-grandchildren, Blaine and Marshal Warburton, Dylan, T.J., Kasey,
Madison, and Jack Cobb, and Lydia, Lincoln, Landon, Kaylee and Josiah
Shanks; step-great-grandchildren, Roxanne (Dustin) Allen, Rachel, Robyn,
Daniel and Katelyn Calaman. In addition to her parents and husband, Pearl
was predeceased by infant twin daughters, five sisters and three brothers. A
celebration of Pearl's life will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, May 1, 2015 at
the Independent Baptist Church, Towanda, with Pastors Donn Hauser, Mike
Shanks and Andy Shanks officiating. Interment will be in Bradford County
Memorial Park, Burlington Township, Pa. The family will receive friends from

morning at the church. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to

what is in your heart that makes you rich. You can count your true friends
on one hand. What a very special lady she was. Ada was a member of the
