Ariel Morgan Pearson

January 27, 1995 – May 9, 2022

Ariel Morgan Pearson returned to her Heavenly Father on May 9, 2022, at the young age of 27.

Ariel was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on January 27, 1995, to Angela Pearson Swazay and Scottie J. Pearson.

As a child, Ms. Pearson played softball, studied dancing, and was a dedicated simmer in middle school and high school where she made a special friendship with her coach and English Lit teacher, John Walker.

After she graduated from North Montgomery High School in 2013, she went on to study and complete Dental Assistant courses at Ivy Tech in Lafayette, Indiana. After working a few years at Walker Dentistry, Ms. Pearson decided to pursue the esthetics program at Tricici University in Fishers, Indiana. She was set to successfully complete that program later this month. She looked forward to her career in this field. While attending courses fulltime she also worked at Greencycle in Danville and in Avon, Indiana; she was driven and ambitious.

Ms. Pearson’s caring spirit and generous heart could be felt by anyone she came in contact with. She had a special gift of not only seeing the good in people but bringing out the best in them as well. She was an avid lover of the outdoors and spent much of her time in oceans, lakes, and creeks enjoying the serene beauty they encompassed. Observing Ms. Pearson in nature was something to behold as she had a way of drawing out butterflies and other animals to her. Her love for the outdoors and traveling brought the happy free spirit that defined her. She also had a love of music which was an expression of her emotions and her individuality. Her love for traveling, outdoors, and music were only surpassed by the love she had for her family.

The relationship she had with her mother was like no other. They shared an unbreakable bond. Ms. Pearson was a wonderful sister and always made sure she spent quality time with her sisters, Layton and Courtney. She adored her nieces, Karson and Elena. She was also a special aunt to the children of her closest friends, whom she loved so much. She had a loving bond with her father. They always enjoyed their annual Cub games in Chicago, cooking out, and watching movies.

Ms. Pearson was selfless and put others first, she was fun loving, outgoing, and vivacious. She was an example to so many and a shining light to all who knew her. When you think of her, celebrate the memories you have of her. We will all miss her beautiful unmatched laughter and love. Ms. Pearson was full of sunshine.

She was close and loving with her aunt and uncles, enjoying many special events together. She was the best granddaughter and had a way of making them feel so loved.
