Obituary

Esther (Mullen) Pearson of Yorktown Heights, NY, passed away on November 28, 2018 at the age of 88. Mrs. Pearson was born in Yorktown Heights to Mr. & Mrs. H. Percy Mullen. She graduated from Yorktown High School in 1948, as valedictorian of her class. Mrs. Pearson promptly began her 15 year career as an Administrative Assistant to the legendary Mildred E. Strang, former superintendent of Yorktown Schools. In 1961, she married Ralph Pearson and together they had three children. Esther decided to take a 15 year hiatus to raise her family. She then returned to the Mildred E. Strang Middle School as Administrative Assistant in the guidance department for another 15 years, until her retirement at age 72. At that time, she began her most rewarding endeavor, helping to raise her grandchildren. During that same time period, Esther was a parishioner of Calvary Bible Church where she served as church organist for over 50 years. Mrs. Pearson will be remembered most for her wonderful sense of humor, dignity and grace. She is survived by her brother, Howard Mullen (wife Joan) of Pennsylvania; brother Paul Mullen (wife Mary) of Oregon; sister Lillian (Mullen) Topping of New Jersey; her three children: Anna-Lisa (Pearson) Tedeschi (husband Frank); R. Eric Pearson (wife Melinda); Krista (Pearson) Bernat (husband Pat Mokry); and her seven grandchildren: Frank, Raymond, Keara, Ricky, Felicia, Selina and Juliet. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
