According to Hana Shaf-Brener, Pesya Pilmayster, her son Yitzak, a watchmaker, and her toddler granddaughter Chana, the daughter of Pesya’s other son, David, lived in Shkud.

According to Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters Lists database, the Pilmaysters were already established in Shkud in 1846. According to the Lithuania Deaths database, Mausha Polmeister, the son of Yeine and Mine, died in Skuodas in 1935, age 83, but without more information it is unclear that this Mausha was Pesya’s husband, especially as Moshe is listed in Jewish Gen’s Yizkor Book Necrology database (which may, however, be in error). The Lithuania Marriages database indicates that Sara Rivke Pilmeister, daughter of Shlioma and Feige, married Alter Yankelovich in Skuodas in 1932. Sara Rivke’s relationship to Pesya’s family is unclear.

Yad Vashem provides this information about Pesya Pilmayster:

Pese Pilmeistoris was born in Skuodas, Lithuania in 1875 to Khaim. She was married. Prior to WWII she lived in Skuodas, Lithuania. During the war she was in Skuodas, Lithuania. Pese was murdered/perished in 1941 in Skuodas, Lithuania. This information is based on a Page of Testimony submitted by her cousin (http://db.yadvashem.org/names/nameDetails.html?itemId=1025339&language=en)

As of November 2013, I could find no information on Pesya’s sons or granddaughter.
