Pearly was born at home to the late William Austin Davidson and Hollie Elizabeth James-Davidson on March 12, 1923, in Wilbarger Co, Texas. She was the youngest of five children, all of whom preceded her in death: Oma Davidson, Orville Davidson, Curtis Davidson, Mary Davidson (husband Vaughn), and Truman Davidson.

Pearly was raised in the Hines community before moving to the Harrold community. She attended elementary school there until moving to Vernon, where she graduated from high school in 1941. She attended Draughn's Business College- which later became a part of Midwestern State University- in 1942.

She then joyously worked as the secretary of Second Baptist Church before retiring in 1993.

She married the love of her life, Clifford Murray Edwards, on December 22, 1946. They had only known each other for three months, but knew that they were in love. They had three children together: John Edwards, Virginia Edwards, and Hollie Elaine Edwards. Her loving husband passed away on June 12, 1966, and she remained faithful to him since.
