Pearl Hibbing, 95, of Rochester, died of Alzheimer's disease on Jan. 28, 2011, at Prairie Meadows in Kasson. She participated in the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Study since its inception.
Pearl Banick was born on Oct. 13, 1915, in Perkins County, S.D., and grew up on a farm near Hettinger, N.D. She studied business and accounting, and then worked at Marigold Dairy in Rochester, where she met and married Harold Hibbing in 1940.
Pearl lived and worked in Tacoma, Wash., during World War II. She and her husband returned to Rochester, where they owned and operated East Center Super Market and Hibbing's Food Center. Pearl and Harold raised seven children in Rochester. Pearl worked at the Post-Bulletin and volunteered at Methodist Hospital during her retirement. She was also involved in the Royal Neighbors organization and was a member of Bethel Lutheran Church for over 60 years.
Her hobbies included quilting, sewing, crossword puzzles and traveling. Pearl always saw the best in others and had a kind word for everyone. She was an exceptional mother to her "Lucky Seven" children who love her and will miss her dearly.
She is survived by three sons, Roger Hibbing (Nancy) of Acme, Wash., Robert Hibbing (Jean) of Portland, Ore., and Rick Hibbing (Sue) of Inver Grove Heights; four daughters, Carol McNeil (Thomas) of Mantorville, Susan Hibbing of Portland, Ore., Sandra Peterson (Aaron) of St. Paul, and Joan Bruns (Warren) of Eagan; nine grandchildren, Barry, Tanya, Colleen, Joel, Carly, Andrea, Lauren, Caitlin and Dylan; eight great-grandchildren; and two sisters-in-law, Avenell Arnsberger of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Vivian Hibbing of Rochester.
She was preceded in death by her husband, three sisters, three brothers and a brother-in-law.
