She was born Pamela Fae Mann on April 23, 1949, in Seattle, Washington to John Mann and Mary Lucille Mann.  Pam grew up in the San Francisco area and then moved to Sacramento while in Jr. High School.  She graduated high school in Sacramento, California and was a licensed beautician.  Pam married Ed Pryor on February 4, 1977, in Sacramento and immediately moved to Coleman, Texas.

Pam loved people and loved to talk, making her the perfect beautician.  She loved being a hairdresser even owning her own beauty shop.  Pam also worked for Zachry and Associates in Abilene doing telephone research and customer service for a company that sold aircraft parts.  Pam was a perfect at this job because it gave her an opportunity to talk to people all over the United States and Canada.  She was very successful at this job and loved every minute of it.

Pam was a loving and giving person.  She was raised in a strong Christian home and her love for Christ was evident in her community involvement.  Pam ran the Coleman City Wide Toy Drive for many years and was always willing to volunteer for different events.  Pam was a devout member of the First Baptist Church in Coleman.  She loved her Sunday School Class and looked forward to the fellowship and friendships that were made.

Pam’s three main loves were God, Chelsie, and Carlton; and coming in a distant third was Ed!  Her love, kindness, and generosity will be missed.

Preceding Pam in death are her parents, John and Mary Mann; and one brother-in-law, Tom Agerton.

She is survived by her husband, Ed Pryor of Coleman; one daughter Chelsie Thomas and husband Carlton of Irving; one sister, Lynne Mann of Citrus Heights, California; and one sister-in-law, Joana Agerton of Denton.
