Pearl F. Limberg

Pearl Frances Limberg, was born on February 5, 1921, in Janesville, Wisconsin to the late Frederick and Ella (Gorr) Oestreich. Pearl passed away surrounded by her loving family on July 21, 2024, after 103 amazing years.

She loved most, spending time with her family. She met her future husband, WWII Veteran Robert J. Limberg, on a blind date and on July 8, 1939, they were united in marriage in Waupun. They lived above the Do Drop in Tavern they owned and operated in Waupun for three years.  Pearl also worked at the Shoe Factory for 29 years before retiring.

Pearl was the sweetest and kindest person. She had a passion for music and dancing. She taught her kids the importance of faith, hard work, and grace. She was an amazing wife of 76 years, a loving grandmother and great grandmother, and the best mother to her four children. She was such a blessing to us all.
