Pamela Harris passed away at 76 years of age at her daughter’s home in Pearland, TX on December 6, 2023. Pamela was born in Breckinridge, TX on May 17, 1947 to Percy Roberts and O’Coneta Lowe Roberts. She was raised in the North Texas area and graduated from Graham High School in 1965. She attended Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls where she met her future husband, Donnie Harris, who was stationed at Shepherd Air Force base. They married in 1968 and spent 52 years together until Harris’s (as she referred to him) death in 2021.

Pamela and Harris settled in Normangee, TX, in 1977 where they spent most of their adult lives and raised their children. Pamela worked at Madison St. Joseph Health Center for 35 years until her retirement. She loved both the Normangee and Madisonville communities where she made many lifelong friends. In her last year, Pamela lived in Pearland, TX surrounded by her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and beloved dog, Dory, who was by her side until her last day.

Pamela was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Don Harris, her parents, and her sister, Penelope Wofford, sister-in-law, Betty Crites, brother-in-law, Floyd Dowler, and brother and sister-in-law, Ed and Joyce Harris.

Survivors include daughter, Melissa and son-in-law, Chris of Pearland, TX; son, Matthew Harris of San Antonio, TX; sister-in-law, Donna Dowler of Parkersburg, WV; brother-in-law, Ed Wofford, of Denver, CO; special cousins, Robin and Connie Robinson of Iowa Park, TX; Linda Price of Electra, TX; and Vickye and Lyndol Hollingsworth of Azle, TX; six grandchildren, Hope, Jordan, Aiden, and Brendan Harris, and Caleb and Shelby Magnussen; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Her family will gather at a later date to spread her ashes in Electra, TX where her mother and grandparents are buried.

If you would like to remember Pamela, please consider making donations in her name to Heart-to-Heart hospice in Houston, TX whose nurses and aids made it possible for Pamela to pass away peacefully at home surrounded by family, just as she had wished.
