Pamela Denise Patrick-Wood, age 53, passed away on June 27, 2025. She was born on March 24, 1972, in Denton, Texas, to Marcia Jean Davis and Norman Screws Patrick.
Her life was marked by deep faith, enduring strength through illness, and an unwavering love for her family.
Early Life in Texas and Oklahoma
Pam grew up in Texas before later moving to Oklahoma.
Her childhood was filled with family connections and memories she held close throughout her life. Those who knew her early years describe her as someone who valued family deeply, even from a young age.
Motherhood and Family Legacy
One of Pam’s greatest joys in life was becoming a mother at the age of 25.
This moment held special meaning for her, as it mirrored a family pattern—both she and her mother became mothers at the same age.
Her child became the center of her world, and she embraced motherhood with deep love, devotion, and pride.
Health Journey and Personal Strength
Pam lived with significant health challenges for more than half of her life.
Despite ongoing medical struggles, she remained strong and often hid her pain from others, choosing instead to focus on those around her.
At different points in her life, she was placed on hospice care twice but fought through treatment and recovery both times, refusing to give up hope.
Her strength was not just physical—it was emotional and spiritual.
Faith and Spiritual Life
Faith played a central role in Pam’s life.
As a devoted Christian, she leaned on her beliefs during her most difficult moments and often shared her faith with others.
In her later years, she became more open about her spiritual journey and found comfort in sharing the message of hope and Christ with those around her.
Becoming “Gigi”
One of the most meaningful moments in Pam’s life was becoming a grandmother.
Being “Gigi” brought her a deep sense of joy and healing that she had not expected. Her granddaughter brought light into her life during a time when she needed it most.
Family members describe this chapter of her life as one filled with renewed happiness and purpose.
Loss, Grief, and Family Bonds
Pam’s passing came shortly after the first anniversary of losing her mother, Marcia Jean Davis, who had been her closest confidant and best friend.
This loss deeply affected her, and her heart remained connected to her mother in memory and love.
Her family remembers this time as emotionally difficult, but also full of reflection on the bond they shared.
