Pamela McMurtry

May 28, 1964 - September 11, 2025

Pamela McMurtry, 61, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2025. Born on May 28, 1964, at Fort Bragg, NC, she was the beloved daughter of Dorothy Mason and Richard Guy.

Pamela was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who found her greatest joy in her family. Her love knew no boundaries, and her caring spirit extended far beyond her own family. Her warmth, kindness, and boundless generosity touched everyone she met. She believed in the power of love, faith, and compassion and lived these values every day.

She will be forever missed by her family, friends, and all who had the honor of crossing her path. May she rest in peace with her lord and savior.
