- Obituary: Pearl Cahall, icon in the Seattle homeless and provider community, died on June 20, 2000 after a struggle with congestive heart and lung problems. She was 87 years old. With wry humor and willingness to fight, Pearl had a huge influence on her many friends, and played a role in the continuance of Noel House shelter (see Real Change, March 1, 2000). She is sorely missed. A memorial service – to celebrate Pearl’s life and share our many stories – will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 9th (Pearl’s birthday) at Noel House, 2301 Second Avenue, Seattle. All are welcome to attend! For more information call 956-0334
