TRIBUTES

MAJOR PEARL THOMAS

PEARL was born, lived and started work in Ebbw Vale, south Wales. From an early age she attended Tredegar Corps, moving in her teenage years to Cwm Corps, where she became corps cadet guardian.

Pearl responded to God’s call for her to serve him as an officer. She married Gethin and trained in the God’s Soldiers session from 1979 to 1981. Along with Gethin, she served as an officer for 39 years at Seaham Harbour, Dunstable, Southport, Coventry City, Pentre and twice at William Booth College.

Pearl’s service touched many lives and made such a difference. She is remembered fondly for the kind, loving and welcoming care she offered to all. A ‘Pearl smile’ or a ‘Pearl hug’ has been so appreciated by many. This was all part of her faithfully obeying God’s call to love and serve him supremely all her days.

A friend paid tribute at her funeral service using the words of Revelation 2:19: ‘I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your service and your patient endurance’ (New Living Translation). The friend said these words were the life of Pearl in a nutshell!

Pearl retired recently and settled in Abergavenny. She died unexpectedly, yet peacefully and full of faith in the God she loved and served. She will be missed by many, especially by her husband, her daughters, Bethan and Cerys, their
