Pearl Rose Fellingham, born September 14, 1943, in Ipswich, England, passed away peacefully at her home in Niceville, Florida, on January 19, 2026, at the age of 82. Pearl married her former husband, Airman Gerald Taufer, in 1963, and permanently emigrated to the United States in 1982. Pearl started her 20+year career at Eglin Main Exchange in 1987, after which she retired to spend more time with her partner, the late Russell Valdez, Sr.. Spreading happiness wherever she went, Pearl was known and loved by many for her grace, compassion, and generosity, always thinking of others and putting them before herself at all times. Pearl now rests alongside her beloved parents (Edward and Daisy), sisters (Sylvia, Joy, and Dawn), and brothers (Russell, Alan, George, and Mervyn), in the company of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She is survived by her son, Robert, and her canine companion, Fluffy.
