Pearl D. Beaudreau (nee Rabe), age 96, of West Bend, found peace on Monday, December 30, 2013 at the Kathy Hospice with her daughters by her side.

While in Milwaukee, Pearl worked for many years at St. Michael's Hospital. She had a love for sports, especially the Packers. She enjoyed photography, fishing, camping, sewing and square dancing and was known for her great cooking as well.
She is survived by her two daughters, Doreen Beaudreau of Coatesville, PA and Ellen Sushak of Beaver Dam.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Glenn Beaudreau; a brother, Glen Rabe; and a half sister, Beatrice Huth.
