Sharon R. ('71) Eanes Pearce

From a couple of friends

Married

September 30, 1989

Doug and I met at Camp Springs Community Church in May, 1987. We married two years later. From 1978 - 2006, I worked in several law firms in the Alexandria/DC area. I worked at Swidler & Berlin as a legal secretary and then moved into the position of Secretarial Manager. In 2006, we decided that I would no longer work outside of the home. In June, I resigned my position and enjoyed the summer. However, my family was in need of a grandma who could take care of the grandchildren. They didn't have to ask twice. I have never regreted our decision for me to stop working. I have so enjoyed the last few years of caring for my grandchildren. Once they begin school, I will really miss them being with me. I have also been volunteering with Calvert Hospice since 1992. I mainly work with children who have lost a parent/sibling/friend. Hospice has an 8-week program where I am a facilitator. We talk about the person who died, feelings, memories and how to say goodbye.

Nine grandchildren,
