Carol Elizabeth Landon Pearson

Carol Elizabeth Landon Pearson was born in Bangkok, Thailand to Margaret and Kenneth Landon, who served as Presbyterian missionaries in Southeast Asia. She graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School (Washington D. C.) in 1951, and from Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) in 1955. She married Lennart Pearson in 1956, and they began their life adventures in Edinburgh, Scotland where she taught home economics while he attended seminary. She followed her husband as a minister’s wife to Kernstown (VA), Candor (NC), and Richmond (VA).
After moving to Clinton, SC in 1968, she and her husband raised three children. She taught elementary school, and earned a master’s degree from Clemson University. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading and genealogy as well as various fabric arts, including sewing, quilting, weaving, and knitting. Time with her family always brought her joy.
She is survived by her children, Linnea Pearson Wilcox (John), Ian Pearson (JoAnna), Andrew Pearson (Maureen), as well as seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, Sarah (Flaco), Susan, David (Brittany), Laura, Erin, Mary, Matthew, Chloe, and Madelyn.
