Honor the Life and Legacy of Mother Pearl Williams

We humbly come to you in a time of great loss to celebrate and honor the life of Mother Pearl Williams, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, community leader, missionary, and humanitarian who gave over 60 years of selfless service to the Southside and Westside communities of Chicago.

Mother Pearl transitioned from this life leaving behind not only a grieving family but an entire city blessed by her tireless service and compassion. Her unexpected passing has left her family with significant and urgent funeral and memorial expenses. We are raising money to help cover the cost of these final arrangements and to allow her loved ones to give her the homegoing celebration she so richly deserves.

A Legacy of Service

Mother Pearl Williams was the co-founder of Mana Outreach and Resource, an organization that provided emergency assistance to families, individuals with disabilities, seniors, and those experiencing homelessness. Her mission was simple yet powerful: to love and serve others in their time of need.

Whether it was delivering hot meals, distributing clothing, praying for the sick, or mentoring young women and men, Pearl gave everything she had to help others rise.

She served faithfully on numerous church boards and held the honored role of missionary, ministering to those often forgotten. She was also a gifted vocalist, lending her voice to several gospel quartet groups and bringing encouragement and inspiration through song.

A Matriarch Who Led With Love

Mother Pearl was the proud mother of two children, grandmother to four, and great-grandmother to six. She was a source of strength, wisdom, and warmth to everyone who knew her—and a true foundation for her family and community alike.

Why We Need Your Help

Pearl Williams gave generously throughout her life. Now, her family needs support during this difficult time. The funds raised will go directly toward:

• Funeral home services and burial expenses

• Memorial arrangements for July 19, 2025, in Chicago, IL

• Travel and lodging assistance for immediate family

• Unexpected end-of-life costs and outstanding obligations

Your contribution—no matter the size—will help lift this burden from her family and allow them to grieve and celebrate her life with peace and dignity.

With gratitude,

The Williams Family
