Pamela Taylor Obituary

Pamela Lea Taylor, born June 13, 1960, to James and Betty Shearon in Memphis, TN, passed away leaving behind a family she loved deeply. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Russell Shearon. Pam had a strong spirit and a tender heart, even in times of distance. She is survived by her sister, Jo Ann Landers, and her three beloved daughters: Ashley Millington of Memphis, TN; Haley James (Shane) of Byhalia, MS; and Jill Rhyne (Shane) of West Memphis, AR. Though life's path sometimes led in different directions, Pam's love for her family never wavered. Her greatest joy in life was her grandchildren-Lee Easterwood, Ethan and Emma James, and Blakeley Rhyne-whom she cherished beyond measure. She also leaves behind her former husband, Rob Taylor of Memphis, TN. Her family will remember her for the love she carried in her heart, even when words were left unspoken. May she now find peace and rest.
