Pam graduated from Neville High School and Northeast Louisiana University with a degree in Medical Technology. For years, Pam was employed with Doctors Fichter, Mickey, and Bulloch and then later worked for Parke-Davis Pharmaceuticals as only the second woman hired in the Monroe area. She finished her career as a sales rep for Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company after thirty-three years of service in the industry.A graduate of Neville High in 1962, Pam remained a loyal Neville Tiger fan her entire life. Some of her happiest moments were watching her son Tyler (87) and grandson Alex (15) play varsity football at her alma mater. Pam greatest joys in life were her grandchildren and loved taking them to the movies or dinner and watching them play or cheer at ballgames.Pam was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Tommye Sue ODonnell Mattison and Mackie ODonnell Bryant. She is survived by her daughter, Amy Thomas Terzolas and her husband, Pete; her son Dr. Tyler Thomas and his wife, Leah Ann; her grandsons Alex Prince and Baker Thomas and granddaughters Lily and Amelia Thomas; her brothers David ODonnell and Jack ODonnell, Jr.; her sister Mary Margaret ODonnell; and numerous nieces and nephews.The family would like to thank the following friends, family, and caregivers for their love and support: Jarvis and Rosemary Thomas, Marte‚Ø¢ and Chuck Wohltmann, Vicky Kane, Eric Maurer of Willis-Knighton South, Lauren Walker of St. Joseph Hospice, and Dr. Kevin Gallagher and staff. Pallbearers will be David Clary, Tom Tuck Dupuy, Karl Meeks, Andrew Prince, Dan Stidham, and Chuck Wohltmann.What through the radiance which was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
