LEONARDTOWN, Md. — Mrs. Pearl Simmons Joyner Bowman, 95, died peacefully at her residence in Cedar Lane Apartments, Leonardtown, Md. on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011, following a number of years of declining health.
A native of Caswell County, N.C., she was the daughter of Elisha L. Simmons and Martha Rice Simmons, both deceased.

Pearl was an accomplished seamstress who for over 40 years fashioned an abundance of highly crafted clothing for her family, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. Over the years, there was many a young child who was delighted by her special gifts of clothing at Christmas, on birthdays and for school. As with her sewing abilities, throughout her life she willingly gave of her time, talent and finances to assist family, church and friends. She was a friend to all.
