Early Life: Pearl was born October 28, 1921, in Dairy Creek, Oneida, Idaho, to George Arthur Vickery and Mary Woodruff Vickery, the eleventh of fifteen children.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: On August 28, 1940, she married George Arthur Meacham in Letha, Idaho. George and Pearl raised their children primarily in New Plymouth, Payette, and Weiser, Idaho. Motherhood was her crowning joy and her favorite occupation. She also worked outside the home from time to time, as an editor in Payette and New Plymouth and also as a bookkeeper. She spent her last several decades living in Provo, Utah, where she made many wonderful friends. She lived her life compassionately in service to her family and the Lord. She was a committed member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout her life; volunteering in many capacities including working in the temple and serving as Relief President at age 72.

She is fondly remembered for her keen mind, quick wit, loving heart, joyful laugh, contagious faith, fierce independence, amazing hair and queenly poise. Pearl was blessed to be able to live independently and care for herself, by the grace of God, until the last few weeks of her life. Pearl M. Vickery Meacham peacefully returned to her heavenly home on Sunday, February 7, 2016. She was 94.
