Johnnie "Pearl" Jones Stovall, 78, of Sandusky, peacefully transitioned from earthly life on Sunday morning July 16, 2023 in the comfort of her home. Pearl was born March 17, 1945 in Waynesboro, MS. to the late David Jones, Sr. and Alice (Smith) Jones.
At the tender age of 9, her nuclear family moved to Sandusky. Pearl attended Perkins High School. Her employment history includes, Cedar Fair, Victorian Manor, Firelands Hospital and lastly retiring from General Motors in the early 90's. Pearl found immense pleasure and comfort cooking for others. A few of her fan favorites were: spaghetti, dressing, collard greens and sweet potato pie. Pearl enjoyed playing spades, vegas and practical jokes. We all knew she could not sit down when, "blurred lines and step in the name of love" were played.
