In loving memory of Pamela Marie Tolleson

July 16, 1964 - June 12, 2025


The family wishes to share these words:

Pamela Marie Tolleson was 60 years old and her birthday was on July 16th, 1964. She lived in Niota, TN and unexpectedly passed away on Thursday, June 12th, 2025. She was the daughter to Elwayne and Betty Wagner; a loving mother to Misty Nicole Green (Randall), Sherina Crabtree, and Kelly Mowery; an honoring wife to Bruce Tolleson; an amazing grandmother to Maci Green, Kayla Latham, Faith Crabtree, Katrina Crabtree, Destiny Crabtree, Summer Baker, and Brandon Baker; and a patient great grandmother to Edward-James Farmer. Pamela enjoyed her free time reading books, listening to music, playing on her computer, and spending time with her grandchildren. She was a very colorful, empathetic, loving, goofy, person who will forever missed in our hearts.

"If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on now, 'cause there's too many places I've got to see, [ But, if I stay here with you,] things just couldn't be the same 'cause, I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change." -Lynyrd Skynyrd

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

There will be a celebration of life hosted by the family at a later date. 

You are encouraged to share a memory of Pamela and/or your personal condolences with her family by visiting her memorial webpage and guestbook at www.companionfunerals.com. Companion Funeral & Cremation Service of Athens, TN, and the Cody family are honored to assist her family with these arrangements.
