Pearl Baugh Rice, age 92, passed away on March 2, 2006 in Logan, Utah of natural causes. Pearl was born September 2, 1913 to Francis Heber Baugh and Alice Summerill Baugh in Logan, Utah. She was the thirteenth of thirteen children. She married Mahlon Franklin Rice on June 3, 1936 in the Logan Temple.

Pearl attended Logan elementary and High School and was a graduate of Utah Agricultural College (Utah State University) with a degree in elementary education. She taught elementary school in several schools in the Logan School District until her retirement in 1978. She is fondly remembered by her students and many maintained contact with her through their adult lives.

The Baugh family was well known for their musical talent and Pearl was no exception. She had a beautiful singing voice and enjoyed performing with her family members, especially her sisters Elizabeth and Phyllis. They performed at many church and civic functions and Pearl was never too busy to perform for any occasion. Even after losing her singing voice to health problems her love of music was always evident. She was an active member of the LDS Church and held many positions in Relief Society and other ward posts. Pearl was a truly gentle, unassuming person, generous to a fault and will be sorely missed by everyone that knew her. She was a wonderful mother and friend.

Pearl is survived by her two children, Allan (Audrey) of Salt Lake City, Utah and Alice Ann of Mesa, Arizona, four grandchildren, Hanna, Noah, Cody and Ann and two great-grandchildren Taylor and Caleb. She was preceded in death by her husband Mahlon, grandson Cliff and all twelve of her siblings.

The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Terrace Grove and Sunshine Terrace for their care of Pearl during the final years of her life.
