Turners Falls, MA - Pearl (Gamache) Webber, who brought smiles and happiness to all who knew her, died July, 4, 2023 at the age of 94. She was born December 1, 1928 to Louis and Alice (Berard) Gamache, and was raised in Winchendon, MA.
Pearl idolized her two older brothers, Rene and Everette, and the sister closest to her, Doris.

When they moved to Montague, MA, she met the love of her life Richard (Red) Webber, whom she married in 1951.
