Pamela was born Dec 30, 1959 to Mary Alice and Robert Lee Harper Sr. in Durham North Carolina.

Pamela is survived by her beloved Husband of 37 years Gill Statham, son Joshua Statham, stepson Quintero Statham, stepdaughter Gilda Gilbert, step grandsons Tyler Johnson, Deveren Judon, and step granddaughter Dasheria Leary.

Pamela is survived by her beloved sister and best friend Sheila Stevens and husband Tracy, her brothers Robert Harper and wife Maria, Kevin Harper and wife Angie, sister-in-law Debbie. She is predeceased by her Brother Daryl E Harper. She is survived by Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins whom all love her dearly.

Pamela gave name to the most recent addition to the family, Hunter. Her true love for life was being around family, and making sure they were ok. She passed consistent to the way she lived, placing the burden on her strong shoulders. During her battle with cancer, she would often respond to family and friends that she was fine. She loved her parents so much she didn’t want to burden them with her issues while they were moving. I haven’t met a person with a stronger bond than Pam has with her siblings, they talk all the time; I wondered at times if they were talking about me like they used to. Even her closest friend was not aware of how serious her condition was. She didn’t preach like Jesus, but she lived like Jesus by carrying the burden for all; what an amazing angel.

I thank God for giving me my perfect wife, cute and fine too. Throughout our marriage she would give me my golf allowance and take care of all the bills, towards the end when God was calling her, she wanted to make sure I would be ok. She said hold on, “I have to show you what bills have to be paid”. I’ve paid one bill so far, hope the lights are on when I return.

What an amazing Mother, she loved her stepchildren as if she gave birth to them, Joshua was her proud and Joy even when she didn’t approve of his actions. Her relationship with Gilda and Phillip was so very special to the very end. Tyler, Dasheria, and Deveren all had a true love for Nana.

Pam and I accepted Jesus as our savior together, she embraced his way of living, loving, and leading. She is at peace, so I am at peace. God is too wise to make a mistake, and too Holy to do anything unjust. I am simply asking my family to honor her by following the great example she set for us all, thanks to all for the love and support you’ve provided.

Pamela graduated from Channel Island High School in Oxnard, California and attended Sawyer College in Ventura, California. Pamela employers quickly recognize what a strong no non-sense leader she was, it wouldn’t take long before she was in charge. She worked at Hydelco Microelectronics, Sears Service Center in California and WinCup in Georgia; they all recognized her ability to get things done.

Brother Robert (Jr), Gilda and Phillip have been the cornerstone of making this happen. I can’t thank you enough.
