She was born Sept. 5, 1930, in Eskridge, Kan., the daughter of James R. and Cora Bretton Winsor. After her mom’s passing, Cleo and her two siblings came to live in St. Marys, Kan., with her older sister and brother-in-law, LaMoyne and Bill Sullivan.

It was in St. Marys that Cleo met and married her husband John “Jack” Kenneth Pearl in June 1951.
