Pearline MacKaron Pearline Gloria (Tafoya) MacKaron was born
Pearline MacKaron Pearline Gloria (Tafoya) MacKaron was born on January 31, 1949 and passed on to a greater glory on February 7, 2025. She lived a full life of faithfulness, love, optimism, and genuine creativity. She grew up in the South Valley of Albuquerque. A devoted Roman Catholic, Pearline attended the University of New Mexico, graduating with a major in English and a minor in Drama. She was an accomplished musician and taught English for the Albuquerque Public Schools at Taft Junior High, completing her 28 year career, 22 years at Highland High School. Pearline touched and inspired countless people. Even as she endured many physical and medical challenges with bravery and grace, she showed more concern for others than for herself. Pearline is succeeded by her husband Melvin (Mel) MacKaron of more than 52 years, her brother Harry Tafoya, and her two biggest joys: her daughter Erissa, and granddaughter Bailey. She treasured her lifelong friends, her family, and her son-in-law Sean Curry. In Pearline's memory, a rosary will be held at French's Funeral Home Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 5:00pm. Funeral services will be at Our Lady of the Annunciation, 2621 Vermont St. NE, the following day at 10:30 A.M., reception to follow.
