Born in West Memphis, Arkansas, on February 26, 1951, she was the daughter of Granville Graden Brasfield and Wanda Mary Ann Maxwell Brasfield. Pam graduated from Pasadena High School in 1969, and then went to and graduated from Lamar University, after which, she worked as a respiratory care coordinator until retirement in 2005. Pam was a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Bridge City, volunteered at Ministerial Alliance, and was also a Charter Member of the Port Arthur Yacht Club. First and foremost, she loved her family with her whole heart. She loved cooking and baking and feeding everyone. She made sure to make everyone their own special goodies with their names written on the baggie. She enjoyed working in the yard, shopping, purses and shoes, and she spent her days living life, going to concerts, and spoiling her dog, Hershey. She had a tender, loving heart and never met a stranger. She was truly one of a kind. Pam’s love of animals was evident to anyone who knew her and Hershey.
She was preceded in death by her parents; nephew, Anthony “Marky” Barfield; and sister-in-law, Carol Brasfield.
She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Gary King; children, Emily Racca and husband, Steve, of Orangefield, TX, Thad King and Cecilia Pippin of Beaumont, TX, and Shelly Retzolk and husband, James, of Cedar Park, TX; grandsons, Korbin Racca, and Dillon Oxford; siblings, Granville Graden Brasfield, II, and Cynthia Barfield; nieces and nephews, Graden Brasfield and wife, Sarah, Jonathon Barfield and wife, Sarah, Cara Hance and husband, Michael, Austin Brasfield, and Cole Brasfield; numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; and beloved dog, Hershey.
