HARRINGTON - Lillian P. Pearson left her earthly body Friday evening, Aug. 22, 2014, and took on her glorified body in heaven. God saw that she was tired and reached down to take her home.

In 1936, she was born again and became a member of Pilgrim Holiness Church in Harrington which is now Calvary Wesleyan Church. She was very passionate about serving her Lord Jesus Christ. She began and ended each day talking and praying to him. She depended on him for everything. Her desire was for everyone to receive salvation. Her goal in life was for everyone to get to heaven. Lillian was a member of the Red Hatters Society and enjoyed her time with the ladies immensely. In 1936 Lillian went to work at Ace Dress Factory making her way to supervisor from 1955 to 1978 when the factory closed. Lillian was born on Raggedy Mountain which is part of Danbury.
