Mrs. Jean Polk Pearcy's Obituary
Jean Pearcy passed away peacefully on January 12, 2019 . Born January 9, 1929, she shared her 90th birthday celebration with family and friends. Living in Nashville all her life, she was a 1949 graduate of Hillsboro High School. Jean spent over twenty-five years as a State of Tennessee employee and thirty years as a Sunday morning nursery caregiver at Westminster Church. In addition to loving her own family, Jean’s love for the children of others was boundless and there are many in Nashville and beyond who benefitted from her love. She will be remembered as one who was always kind and humble, placing the needs of others before her own.
