Born in the small town of Plaquemine, Louisiana, in 1913, Pearl was the eldest of eight children. Her early life was marked by poverty and hardship. Her father, a sharecropper, struggled to make ends meet, and the family often went hungry.

Despite these challenges, Pearl was a bright and ambitious young woman. She excelled in school and dreamed of becoming a teacher. However, her dreams were shattered when she contracted polio at the age of twelve. The disease left her paralyzed from the waist down, confining her to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Refusing to be defined by her disability, Pearl vowed to live a full and meaningful life. She continued her education, graduating from high school and college with honors. She also became involved in community service, volunteering her time at the local hospital and library.

In 1940, Pearl met and married James Lacoma, a kind and supportive man who encouraged her to pursue her dreams. Together, they raised three children and built a happy and fulfilling life.

Pearl's story is one of extraordinary courage and resilience. She faced adversity with unwavering determination, never allowing her disability to hold her back. She was an inspiration to all who knew her, and her legacy continues to inspire others to overcome their own challenges.
