About Cesarina "Chessy" Bianco Pearsons, Formerly of Sagamore, Bourne High School Alumni, COLUMBUS, N.C.

A rich, full and blessed life was lived on this earth by Cesarina "Chessy" Bianco Pearsons, who died Thursday, February 1, 2007 in Columbus.

Born in 1919 she and her family emigrated from Turin, Italy to the United States in 1921. Her family settled in Sagamore.

During World War II, she met her future husband Horace C. Pearsons at Camp Edwards while both were serving their country for the war effort.

Chessy and Horace were married following the end of the war in August of 1945. They immediately set out for New York City where Horace pursued a successful career in advertising design and production until 1963. During those years Chessy kept very busy managing her household and raising their two children, Elaine and George. She worked for a time at Doubleday Publishing in Garden City, Long Island, N.Y.

The couple returned to the Cape in 1963, where they lived happily until Chessy relocated to North Carolina to live with Elaine following the passing of Horace in 2001.

An elegant and vivacious lady, Chessy enjoyed and thrived on living life to the fullest. She took up the accordion, the bongos, rug hooking and bowling. Her passions were dancing, golf, gardening, weekly Bible study with her ''ladies'' and attending church.

The Bourne High School Class of 1937 was very dear to her heart and she faithfully attended all alumni gatherings.

Of all the wonderful events of her life, the one that is most significant was the day she and her husband were born again. They received Jesus as their Lord and Savior in August of 1975. Life from that point forward became brighter and more exciting than ever. Her days, right up to her passing, were filled with our Savior's love and compassion.
