Pearline Session

Pearline Jones Session was born on December 28, 1926 in Florence, South Carolina, the eighth of twelve children to the late Arthur and Louise Jones. She educated in the Public School System of Florence County and graduated from Wilson High School in 1941. Pearline accepted Christ at an early age and became a member of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Timmonsville, South Carolina. Pearline relocated to Baltimore, Maryland where she met and married the late Freddie J. Session. From this union one daughter was born, Barbara Pearl Session (Lee). Pearline became a member of Fountain Baptist Church under Christian experience. She was a dedicated member of Fountain for many years until relocating to Chesterfield, Virginia with her daughter and family in 2006. Pearline enjoyed sewing for her family and friends. She sewed everything from children's clothes to men's suits. She often made blankets and quilts for her grandchildren and other family members. Throughout her working career, she worked at several companies as a seamstress which included: Andre Fantasy, Sealy Mattress, London Fog, Joseph A. Bank and Uniflair Uniforms. She retired from working as a seamstress in 1998. Pearline was what her daughter called "A Quiet Storm". She was known to be very quiet with a sweet and humble personality. Never one to argue with anyone, but always ready to do what she could to help someone even when it meant she would do without. Her loving and peaceful spirit often transcended to others around her. Pearline's greatest joy was being with family. She would spend a lot time traveling and enjoying the weekends with her daughter and son-in-law. She loved and was so proud of her three grandchildren. Pearline also loved to cook and was known for her fried chicken, spaghetti and meatballs, apple pie, banana pudding and her delicious cornbread dressing she would make every Thanksgiving. Pearline took her last breath on Tuesday, November 12 at approximately 2:30 p.m. after a long illness. We cherish her for her resilience and strength. She will always be remembered for her gracefulness and ability to stay strong in spite of her circumstances. She never complained and was a fervent prayer warrior. To know her was to feel the presence of the Lord that lived within her. We will always love and cherish her kindness, endurance and her ability to make a significance difference in our lives with her quiet spirit. She leaves to cherish fond memories; her daughter, Barbara Session Lee, son-in-law, Alex Lee of Chesterfield, Virginia; three grandchildren, Joshua Alexander Lee (Glendola) of Columbia, South Carolina, Kelley Taylor Lee of Charleston, South Carolina, Casey Tyler Lee of Chesterfield, Virginia; three great grandchildren, Aubrey Leigh Robinson, Joshua Alexander Lee, Jr., Drew Erinne Lee; one sister, Grace Hampton of Baltimore, Maryland, a host of devoted nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews,and many other relatives and friends.
