Pamela Barnes Obituary
Pam's parents raised her to put God first and to love her family and friends. She was a loving daughter, sister, and a loyal friend. Pam loved her career as a nurse and made it her priority to make sure that her patients knew she cared for them and tried to make them as comfortable as possible. When her mobility lessened, she made it a point to keep up with her family and friends. She never failed to check in with her only two remaining aunts, Barbara and Edith. Pam was quick to let others know they were important to her. She believed in honoring people while they were alive, although declining health limited her activities.
Pam is survived by her brother and caregiver, Dean Barnes of Rocky Mount, and her beloved canine companion, Monty.
A Funeral Service to celebrate Pam's life will be held on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at 11:00 AM in the Chapel of Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home & Cremation Services with Reverend Royce Williams officiating. Burial will follow the service at Rocky Mount Memorial Park. Visitation with the family will be from 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM prior to the service in the Atrium of Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home.
The family would like to say a special thanks to two nursing facilities where Pam spent her remaining time, Autumn Care of Nash and The Lodge of Rocky Mount. She felt blessed to have made some new friends, especially at the Lodge where she grew to love her physical therapists and those who took care of her.
Flowers are welcome or memorials may be made in Pam's memory to Gideon's International, P.O. Box 485, Nashville, NC 27856.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, please be respectful of those around you.
