Pearl Theresa Norris was born on October 29, 1942 in Lexington, Kentucky to the late Bertram and Earlene Thomas. Pearl moved to Cleveland, OH at a young age and attended Cleveland Public Schools. Pearl married Ivan Norris Sr. and they shared 3 sons; Karl Norris Sr., Erric Norris Sr. and Ivan Norris Jr. Pearl worked as a nursing assistant for many years at St. Vincent Charity Hospital. Several years after retiring, in 1985, Pearl pursued her dream of owning her own farm in Sarahsville, OH. The farm was her one true place of happiness. On this farm she raised many different animals that she treated like her babies. She loved her family (including her dogs) and treasured the time she spent on the farm with her grandchildren. She also enjoyed gardening and watching horror movies.
