Pearl M.R. Ehrhardt Carrender went to be with her Heavenly Father March 16, 2015, just a few months short of her 90th birthday. She was the daughter of Mom’s brother and Daddy’s sister, Dorothea Sommerer Ehrhardt (Aunt Dora) and Theodore Ehrhardt respectivly. So, because we are cousins through both Theresa A. M. Ehrhardt Sommerer and Adolph Mathias Sommerer, Pearl was our double first cousin. We had other double first cousins, but she was our last one living.
She was married to Warren Carrender who proceeded her in death on Jan 8, 2006. Services will be Thursday, March 19th, 2015 at 1:00 at the Reid Millard Funeral Home. Burial to follow at Hawthorne Gardens, Jefferson City, Mo.
We have 2 First Cousins left, Rachel Lock and Alice Brandt.
Pearl was responsible for a fair number of the pictures that we’ve put up on the website, and she plays a part in a fair number of stories. You can read some of them here. Please keep Pearl’s family in your prayers.
Pearl was so good to all us kids. She was precious. Have a great reunion with your loved ones in heaven Pearl. We will see you later.
Rachel is aunt Julie’s granddaughter not her daughter. Rachel’s mother was mothers niece (aunt Julie’s daughter)
Pearl is my Godmother. She was so good to me and she gave me a lot of nice things. I especially remember the pink straw-type hat she gave me to go with the pink dotted-swiss ruffled dress Margie made for me when I was about 5 or 6ish. I wish I still had that hat to put with the dress that is hanging on the wall in a guest bedroom. I remember the two cute, blond foster girls she and Warren took care of. Pearl was so giving and dear.
