On October 25, 1917, Pearl was born to Otto and Babetta (Gutman) Bublitz in Worth County, Iowa. She was baptized on Nov. 18, 1917, and confirmed her faith March 20, 1932, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton. Pearl graduated from Grafton Public School on May 18, 1936.

She was united in marriage to Wilbur Urbatsch on Dec. 5, 1937, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton. Two sons were born to this union, Gene and James. Pearl and Wilbur farmed north of Grafton for 20 years. During this time, she helped organize and became the first president of the Women Mission Federation.
