She was born to Jonath Jackson and Pearlie (Shepherd) Laferty on October 21, 1949 in Prestonsburg, KY.  She spent many years in Forest, Ohio and graduated from Riverdale High School in 1967 and was a member of the choir and played the Clarinet in the marching band. Pearlie was an active member of the Assemblies of God churches for much of her life. Churches include New Life Assembly of God of Findlay, Ohio and Abundant Life Assembly of God of Kenton, Ohio for the remainder of her life. She loved to take her family to the Assembly of God Family Camp every year for more than 40 years between Big Prairie and Heartland Conference Retreat Center for the Great Family Adventure. She was raised in a Pentecostal church and enjoyed their praise and worship, their fellowship, and homecomings EVERY summer.  She dedicated her whole life to share the love of God with her children, her family, and anyone else she met. She was also active in both the Faith Baptist Bible Study and a Ladies’ Bible Study.  Pearlie was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Shirley Newland.  She was previously married to Michael Mullins, Grover Sparks, Martin Davies and James Goslee.  Surviving are four children: Candie LouAnn (Joe) Belanich of Dayton, Mistie Marie Sparks of Columbus, Scott (Loretta) Sparks of Beloit and Faith Elizabeth Sparks of Lima. Pearlie is also survived by four grandchildren: Joseph “Little Joe” Frank Belanich IV, Benjamin Scott Sparks, Josiah “Si” James Sparks and Daphne Grace Sparks. Her final words were to her family, talking about Jesus “I have loved and served Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my whole life”.   Visitation will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024 from 5:00 – 8:00 PM at the SCHINDEWOLF-STOUT-CRATES FUNERAL HOME and for one hour (10:00 -11:00 AM) Friday, prior to the service at Abundant Life Assembly of God.  A funeral service will begin at 11:00 AM on Friday, June 14, 2024 at Abundant Life Assembly of God, 1010 E.
