Pearl B. Terlinden, nee Kibbel, 94, of the Town of Wayne, entered Eternal Life on Saturday February 21, 2015 at Cedar Lake Home, West Bend.
She was born on June 7, 1920 on the family farm in the Town of Wayne to the late George and Esther (nee Luecke) Kibbel Jr. On May 28th, 1949 she was united in marriage to Arthur Terlinden at Salem Church in Wayne.
Her passion was running the farm alongside her husband, which included milking cows, raising chickens, and selling her farm fresh eggs. She felt blessed that for 94 years she was able to live in the farm house that she was born in. Pearl was very involved in many organizations. She was a leader of the Wayne Crusaders 4-H club, a member of the More-Ed Club, Wayne Willing Weavers Home Makers Club, and a member of the Ladies Aid for many years at Zion Lutheran Church. She always welcomed family, friends, or distant relatives to the farm where she enjoyed visiting and serving them a home cooked meal. The love for her family was always so dear to her heart and her memory will be forever with them.
