It is with heavy hearts and cherished memories that we announce the passing of Pamela Louise Stafford, whose life was a beautiful reflection of love, laughter, kindness, and an unwavering zest for living.
Pam was someone whose presence brought warmth and happiness to those fortunate enough to know her. With an ever-present smile, an adventurous spirit, and a genuine love for others, Pam had an extraordinary gift for turning simple moments into lasting memories. She embraced life with enthusiasm, courage, and an open heart.
But beyond the fun-loving spirit and contagious smile was a heart that loved deeply. Pam had a special way of making people feel welcome, appreciated, and loved. There was always room for one more laugh, one more hug, and one more memory.
Pam was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Thelma Turner, and her son-in-love, Dusty Stokes.
Pam leaves behind her husband, Rickey Stafford, her daughters, Cyndi (David) Ford and Ronelle Stokes, her son, Ron (Anita) Willerson, grandkids, Austin (Madison) Armour, Delaney (Hunter) Ford, and Lyla Willerson. She also leaves behind her sisters, Brenda Turner and Sandra Claxton, her brother Terry (Kay) Turner, and several nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 1 to 3 pm on Sunday, October 18, 2026, in the Valley View Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home. A celebration of life will follow at 3 pm in the chapel with Pastor Toby Brogden officiating. Burial will take place at Ooltewah Cemetery following the service.
