Pearl M. Freeze

November 10, 1934 — July 17, 2025

Independence

Pearl Marie Freeze passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on July 17, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri. She leaves behind a remarkable legacy of love, laughter, and lifelong friendships. Born on November 10, 1934, in Independence, Missouri, her vibrant spirit and warmth touched the lives of countless individuals. Pearl graced this world with her presence for 90 extraordinary years.

Her lifelong passion for education began after graduating from William Chrisman High School. Pearl pursued further education at Graceland College, where she not only earned her associate degree but also met the love of her life, Ronald Freeze. On December 17, 1955, they made vows that resulted in a 65-year adventure of love and devotion. Later, Pearl continued her academic journey at Central Missouri State University earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. During her 25 years as a 1st grade teacher at Thomas Hart Benton Elementary, Pearl was known for her warm and welcoming hugs that greeted students each morning. Pearl created an atmosphere of comfort and excitement for learning. She was well-loved by her students and colleagues alike, fostering deep and lasting friendships that long outlived the school years.

Above all else, Pearl LOVED HER FAMILY! She was devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. She opened her home to all of her family & friends. These occasions were filled with lots of food and laughter. Her delightful sense of humor and ability to connect with everyone around her made her the life of every party.

Pearl’s faith played an essential role in her life. She was deeply involved in her church, leading women's groups, teaching Sunday school, and volunteering at church camps. Her commitment to her faith reflected her love of our Heavenly Father. The community benefited from her dedication to service and nurturing those around her.

Pearl's passing was preceded by her parents, Harry and Pearl Ward; her best friend and beloved husband of 65 extraordinary years, Ronald Freeze Sr.; their son, Stephen Lynn Freeze; and 10 brothers and sisters. Pearl's legacy of love, laughter, and learning lives on through her sons, Ronald Freeze Jr. (Cynthia) and Phillip "Flip" Freeze (Susan); her grandchildren, Alexandria Freeze-Brandon, Milana Perry, Aaron Freeze, Katelyn Kenwright, Brianna Freeze, and Gabrielle "Abby" Mercer; her great grandchildren, Alexis Perry, Claire Perry, and Weston Perry; and her sister, Ruth Thomas.

A memorial visitation will be held at Oak Grove Restoration Branch (1203 N Broadway St, Oak Grove, MO 64075) on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 9-11 am, followed by a celebration of life beginning at 11 am.

To whom it may concern:

   On the evening of 7.20 at the joint service at SCRB my wife accidentally brushed the side of a white Honda Pilot in the parking lot before the service. We would like to take care of this, but she wasn’t able to connect with the vehicle owner after the service. If this is your vehicle, we apologize and would like to take care of it. You can reach me by text or call at the below number. 

Thank you & have a blessed day!

 ZIONWORKS NEWS for JULY 19, 2025 

“THE LOVE THAT BINDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER, THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, IS THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE”  

 

 

   The news this week is short and powerful: A huge percentage of the population of the tribes descending from Lehi in North America and other parts of the globe have come to claim the The Record of Nephi as their own as it corroborates with and reinforces their national histories and identities!  Presently, they are planning to gather here! All the hopes and the tears of five thousand long years, are blossoming now as the rose. 

   Since 1829 and earlier, prophecy has told of this gathering of the tribes to “this land”. We have been told in scripture to prepare in righteousness for this and to be ready to assist in the building of Zion. We have known since 1830 that we must prepare by practicing living in the Kingdom. We know that we can’t be prepared by just talking and singing of Zion. In last week’s Zionworks News, several reasons for this lack of preparedness and obedience were proposed, and none of them are valid excuses.  

   This past Thursday may have seen one of the very most momentous events in our history. A conference was held at The Remnant’s Conference Center in Independence. The conference was called to discuss the collaboration of the JCRB, Remnant, Bickertonites, any other restoration groups and people interested, and an established organization of natives from Canada north down to Patagonia south, to lay out a serious, prayerfully organized plan to build the foothold/first phase of Zion; the plan to be adopted by consensus by April 2026; thereafter to begin implementing with a goal of completion by October of 2028. This approach has substantial support by many of the various leaders already.  

   Chief Midegah, organizer of these mentioned tribes and nationalities, during his presentation Thursday, said that,“ The natives are coming to Jackson County. Preparation must be made to greet and settle initially 100,000 of ‘us’ “. Very much, the restoration understands the history and the promise to these people of the House of Israel. They’re coming with or without our help and they are already making plans to come. Many reported miracles have been experienced already during previous gatherings and conferences held in Yucatan and North America under the leadership of Chief Midegah. Presently, this collaboration among the people of Lehi and saints is advancing in Europe and to other nations. 

    There will be a gathering of saints and all interested individuals to exchange and hear more related information this coming Sunday at Center Branch at 2:00 PM. This is intended to be a gathering of all interested people. Many saints are already cooperating and planning in collaboration with Chief Midegah and the descendants of Lehi. It will be wonderful if any of them can meet with us to impart more information. The goal in our hearts is for all of Jesus’ pure-in-heart of the world to be happily spiritually bonded under His wings. At our meetings, we ask the Lord to bless the meeting, itself, to be an experience in Zion.  See “Calendar”, below.  

 

                                                     CALENDAR 

 

Special note: Annie Webb’s class, “On This Wise I do Give This Account”, will be held at 3:30 PM this coming Sunday, July20th, at the Stone Church in the fellowship hall. It will expound on Moroni’s part in Ether speaking to us about the days we’re living in. We will adjourn the Zionworks meeting at 2:40 to allow adequate time to get seated for her class. 

 

  Next Zionworks meeting, Special agenda: This coming Sunday, July 20^th at 2:00 PM at Central Branch, 919 S. Delaware, Independence at 2:00 PM. Special agenda: Exchange and hearing of information on the coming gathering as detailed above. All people are invited. 

 

Sunday, July 27^th: Zionworks meeting at Central Branch, 919 S. Delaware, Independence at 2:00 PM.
