Pearl truly loved the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing and working in her garden.  She enjoyed spending time with her family especially her grandchildren.  She and her husband were owners of The Lighthouse Restaurant near Zwolle, LA where they made many life-long friends.  Pearl always had a game of solitaire being played at the kitchen table and her love for cards lead her to deal blackjack at a local casino.  She was a caring mother, sister, and grandmother and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her daughter, Debbie Niette; grandchildren, Chad, Jonathan, Heidi, Crystal, and Shane; siblings, Nellie Davis, Charlotte French, Andrew Davis, and Isadore Davis; as well as numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.  The family would like to say a big thank you, to Hospice of Natchitoches, and Natchitoches Community Care.
