Pamela "Pam" Marietta Pierce, known for her tough yet endearing personality, passed away peacefully at her home on March 20, 2024, at the age of 66. Born on February 25, 1958, in Lola, Kentucky, Pam's feisty spirit and warm heart touched many throughout her lifetime.
A retired bartender, Pam served the community at the American Legion Post #31 for over two decades, where her charisma and straightforward style became a staple. Her involvement with the Bridge Street Eagles exemplified her commitment to camaraderie and local fellowship.
Pam's zest for life shone through in her love for family cookouts, joy rides on four-wheelers, and cruising in her golf cart - humorously "supervising" neighborhood goings-on. As a devoted wife, mother, and Nana, her presence was a beacon of strength and love, ensuring those around her always knew where they stood.
Pam's legacy is cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her, and her vibrant spirit will be profoundly missed.
Pam is survived by her husband of 41 years, Herman Pierce; one sister, Teresa Conyer (Donnie Bruce); daughters, Tammy Pierce, Michelle Pugh (Jamie Strong), Dawn Meredith (Steven) Melissa Dove (Brice) and Lisa Pierce; her grandchildren, Olivia Strong, Kolbie Baird, Chesleigh Pugh, Izabellah Light, Alexis Cavitt, Aleyah Light, Kendyn Mayes, Hunter Meredith; and nieces, Angela Neese, Tina Dunkerson and nephew, David Rittenberry.
She was preceded in death by her parents, James "HR" and Mary Imogene McFalls; one sister, Jean Rittenberry (Harold); and one nephew, Jerald Rittenberry.
A memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm on Monday, March 25, 2024 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah with Bro. Dennis Lawrence officiating.
Visitation will be held from 1:00 pm until the 3:00 pm service time on Monday, March 25, 2024 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah.
